Lidar-derived aerosol optical properties from Mindelo, Cabo Verde, September 2021

The data files contain measurement data of aerosol optical properties, which were derived by the multiwavelength-Raman polarization lidar PollyXT at Mindelo, Cabo Verde, on 16 and 24 September 2021. The vertical profiles were averaged from 22:24 – 23:12 UTC (16 Sep) and from 04:38 – 05:56 UTC (24 Sep) and manually analyzed using the Raman method. The data is available in different smoothing lengths. For more information, see https://doi.org/10.5194/egusphere-2023-2305. This is an updated version of the data set. In the previous data files, the variable ext355 contained the data of ext532, which was corrected. Please note that in addition the units of the height and backscatter and extinction coefficients as well as of their errors were changed to SI units, i.e., m instead of km and Mm.
