Optical characteristics of biomass burning aerosols over Southeastern Europe determined from UV-Raman lidar measurements

The influence of smoke on the aerosol loading in the free troposphere over Thessaloniki, Greece is examined in this paper. Ten cases during 2001–2005 were identified when very high aerosol optical depth values in the free troposphere were observed with a UV-Raman lidar. Particle dispersion modeling...
