Abstract
Observations using a two-wavelength polarization lidar (1,064 nm and 532 nm, dual polarization at 532 nm) were performed at the same time with a 95-GHz cloud profiling radar on the Mirai MR01-K02 ACE-Asia cruise. The lidar observed plumes of Asian dust and anthropogenic aerosols in the Northwest Pacific. The data were analyzed using an inversion method and a new forward algorithm for two wavelength lidars based on assumptions on the characteristics of aerosols. The results revealed layered structure of sea salt, sulfate and Asian dust plumes. Microphysical parameters of clouds were derived with a radar/lidar combined data analysis algorithm. Experiments on bistatic lidar measurements of water cloud particle size were also performed on the cruise.
