・ Space and ground-based lidar AOT values show relatively good agreement.・ CMAQ shows similar seasonal variation.

(Hara et al.)
2.3 Seasonal variation of vertical profiles
・ The seasonal variation in the aerosol scale height at Beijing is largest (about 1 km) among these sites which is correlated to the large seasonal variation of the mixing layer depth .
・ We can classify typical seasonal variations of spherical AOT at the three lidar sites into two types: the ‘summertime peak’ type and the ‘summertime trough’ type.
Near-surface (120m-1km) dust and spherical-aerosol extinction coefficient used in
the epidemiological study.

Mass(SPM)/extinction ~ 1000 (g/m3)/(km-1)
Mass/extinction conversion factor (MEF)PM10/(Lidar extinction) and assimilated CFORS model was compared for mineral dust.
MEF for PM10 shows temporal (and spatial variation)Variation in MEF for PM2.5 is much smaller. PM2.5 is less dependent on particle size distribution. We can better quantify “dust PM2.5” from the dust extinction coefficient.
1) Climatology and case studies using lidar network data (and CALIPSO)
2) Real time data assimilation for dust forecasting.
3) Assimilation of regional chemical transport models including spherical aerosols
4) Assimilation of global aerosol climate models including the lidar network data
