Lidar at “Hedo” site
The lidars measure aerosols (& clouds) 24-hour-automatically and we provide 2+1 data in semi-real-time (http://www-lidar.nies.go.jp/)
with automatically measurement capability 20 sites ground based network observation in East Asia (2001~) Ship-borne measurements (1999~, vessel “MIRAI” (JAMSTEC))

Application to shipborne lidar data I
Pacific Ocean near Japan Observed data(2+1 Mie lidar)
The total optical thicknesses were larger from the Japan to the New Guinea and in the western region off Sumatra Island than in the other regions.
AP was the major contributor to the total optical thickness of aerosols.
Comparison with a global aerosol transport model “SPRINTARS” [Nishizawa et al. JGR 2008]
*SPRINTARS is a global, three-dimensional aerosol transport model [Takemura et al. 2005].
The simulation data by the SPRINTARS was provided by Takemura of Kyusyu Univ.

We developed several aerosol classification and retrieval algorithms.=> The algorithms can be used to understand aerosol component distributions
in regional and global scales by applying to the network lidar data and the satellite-borne lidar data.
We are going on developing (or improving) aerosol classification and retrieval algorithms using more channels. NIES 2+1 Mie lidar + Raman (or HSRL) 1α+2+1 data SF-NT-OC (Weak / Small / Spherical) +
