Dynamic Lidar Ratio Calculation and Aerosol Vertical Extinction Coefficient Retrieval Based on Observed Visibility

Abstract Micropulse lidar (MPL) cannot directly retrieve the aerosol extinction coefficient under cloudy conditions and at night. Therefore, we used ground visibility, Fernald’s near-end solution method, and the linear correlation between the near-end lidar signal (photons) and ground aerosol extinc...
