Investigating the assimilation of CALIPSO global aerosol vertical observations using a four-dimensional ensemble Kalman filter

<p>Aerosol vertical information is critical to quantify the influences of aerosol on the climate and environment; however, large uncertainties still persist in model simulations. In this study, the vertical aerosol extinction coefficients from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarizati...
