Satellite observations from MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) and CALIOP (Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization) instruments, as well as modeling tools such as HYSPLIT (Hybrid Single-Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory) and NAAPS (Navy Aerosol Analysis and Prediction System), have been used to estimate the sources and transport paths of those North American forest fire smoke particles. A multiwavelength Raman lidar technique was applied to obtain vertically resolved particle optical properties, and further inversion of those properties with a regularization algorithm allowed for retrieving microphysical information on the studied particles. The results highlight the presence of smoke layers of 1-2 km thickness, located at about 5 km a.s.l. altitude over Granada and Leipzig and around 2.5 km a.s.l. at Warsaw. These layers were intense, as they accounted for more than 30% of the total AOD (aerosol optical depth) in all cases, and presented optical and microphysical features typical for different aging degrees: color ratio of lidar ratios (LR532/LR355) around 2, alpha-related angstrom exponents of less than 1, effective radii of 0.3 mu m and large values of single scattering albedos (SSA), nearly spectrally independent. The intensive microphysical properties were compared with columnar retrievals form co-located AERONET (Aerosol Robotic Network) stations. The intensity of the layers was also characterized in terms of particle volume concentration, and then an experimental relationship between this magnitude and the particle extinction coefficient was established.

The system was successfully used during two AWI airborne field campaigns, ASTAR 2004 and SVALEX 2005, performed in vicinity of Spitsbergen in the Arctic. The novel evaluation schemes, the Two-Stream Inversion and the Iterative Airborne Inversion, were applied to the obtained lidar data. Thereby, calculation of the particle extinction and backscatter coefficient profiles with corresponding lidar ratio profiles characteristic for the arctic air was possible. The comparison of these lidar results with the results of other in-situ and remote instrumentation (ground based Koldewey Aerosol Raman Lidar (KARL), sunphotometer, radiosounding, satellite imagery) allowed to provided clean contra polluted (Arctic Haze) characteristics of the arctic aerosols. Moreover, the data interpretation by means of the ECMWF Operational Analyses and small-scale dispersion model EULAG allowed studying the effects of the Spitsbergens orography on the aerosol load in the Planetary Boundary Layer. With respect to the cloud studies a new methodology of alternated remote AMALi measurements with the airborne in-situ cloud optical and microphysical parameters measurements was proved feasible for the low density mixed-phase cloud studies. An example of such approach during observation of the natural cloud seeding (feeder-seeder phenomenon) with ice crystals precipitating into the lower supercooled stratocumulus deck were discussed in terms of the lidar signal intensity profiles and corresponding depolarisation ratio profiles. For parts of the cloud system characterised by almost negligible multiple scattering the calculation of the particle backscatter coefficient profiles was possible using the lidar ratio information obtained from the in-situ measurements in ice-crystal cloud and water cloud. N2 - Das Airborne Mobile Aerosol Lidar (AMALi) wurde am Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung in Potsdam für die Untersuchung arktischer Aerosole und Wolken der unteren Troposphäre entwickelt und gebaut. Das AMALi wurde erfolgreich in zwei AWI Flugzeugmesskampagnen, der ASTAR 2004 und der SvalEx 2005, die in Spitzbergen in der Arktis durchgeführt wurden, eingesetzt. Zwei neue Lidar Datenauswertungsmethoden wurden implementiert: die Two-Stream Inversion und die Iterative Airborne Inversion. Damit erwies sich die Berechnung der Profile der Teilchen Rückstreu- und Extinktionskoeffizienten mit einem entsprechenden Lidar Verhältnis, das charakteristisch für arktische Luft ist, als möglich. Der Vergleich dieser Auswertungen mit den Resultaten, die mit verschiedenen Fernerkundungs- und In-situ Instrumenten gewonnen worden waren (stationäres Koldewey Aerosol Raman Lidar KARL, Sonnenphotometer, Radiosondierung und Satellitenbilder) ermöglichten die Interpretation der Lidar-Resultate und eine Charakterisierung sowohl der reinen als auch der verschmutzten Luft. Außerdem konnten die Lidardaten mit operationellen ECMWF Daten und dem kleinskaligen Dispersionsmodel EULAG verglichen werden. Dadurch konnte der Einfluss der Spitzbergener Orographie auf die Aerosolladung der Planetaren Grenzschicht untersucht werden. Für Wolkenmessungen wurde eine neue Methode der alternativen Fernerkundung mit dem AMALi und flugzeuggetragenen In-situ Messgeräten verwendet, um optische und mikrophysikalische Eigenschaften der Wolken zu bestimmen. Diese Methode wurde erfolgreich implementiert und auf Mixed-Phase Wolken geringer optischen Dicke angewendet. Ein Beispiel hier stellt das Besamen der Wolken (sogenannte Feeder-Seeder Effekt) dar, bei dem Eiskristalle in eine niedrige unterkühlte Stratokumulus fallen. Dabei konnten Lidarsignale, Intensitätsprofile und die Volumendepolarisation gemessen werden. Zusätzlich konnten in den weniger dichten Bereichen der Wolken, in denen Vielfachstreuung vernachlässigbar ist, auch Profile des Teilchen Rückstreukoeffizienten berechnet werden, wobei Lidarverhältnisse genommen wurden, die aus In-situ Messungen für Wasser- und Eiswolken ermittelt wurden.

However, the investigation of its geometrical and optical properties over the Arctic is limited. In this work the long-term properties of cirrus clouds are explored for the first time over an Arctic site (Ny-Alesund, Svalbard) using lidar and radiosonde measurements from 2011 to 2020. The optical properties were quality assured, taking into account the effects of specular reflections and multiple-scattering. Cirrus clouds were generally associated with colder and calmer wind conditions compared to the 2011-2020 climatology. However, the dependence of cirrus properties on temperature and wind speed was not strong. Even though the seasonal cycle was not pronounced, the winter-time cirrus appeared under lower temperatures and stronger wind conditions. Moreover, in winter, geometrically- and optically-thicker cirrus were found and their ice particles tended to be more spherical. The majority of cirrus was associated with westerly flow and westerly cirrus tended to be geometrically-thicker. Overall, optically-thinner layers tended to comprise smaller and less spherical ice crystals, most likely due to reduced water vapor deposition on the particle surface. Compared to lower latitudes, the cirrus layers over Ny-Alesund were more absorbing in the visible spectral region and they consisted of more spherical ice particles.
