Aerosol Physical‐Optical Properties and PBLH Under Different Air Pollution Levels From Ground Lidar and Satellite Observations Over Shouxian Area, China Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres

The physical and optical properties of aerosols and the change of planetary boundary layer height (PBLH) are of great scientific significance for the study of atmospheric environment and air quality. This paper intends to present integrated observations of aerosol physical-optical characteristics and PBLH properties under different air pollution levels in Shouxian (National Climatology Observatory (32°26’ N, 116°47’ E)), China. The combined measurements of ground-based Lidar and Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO) are analyzed from December 2016 to November 2017 in this study. Results show that the extinction coefficients decrease significantly with height below 2 km. The extinction coefficients
