Dust Aerosols Detected Using a Ground-Based Polarization Lidar and CALIPSO over Wuhan (30.5°N, 114.4°E), China
Figure 5
CALIPSO altitude-orbit cross-section measurements of (a) 532 nm total attenuated backscatter coefficient, (b) volume depolarization ratio, and (c) 1064 nm/532 nm backscatter color ratio; the figure shows the (d) vertical feature mask, (e) aerosol subtype mask, and (f) CALIPSO trajectory in the map (the corresponding orbit is 2011-04-22T18-16-45) over southeast China between 20° and 50°N on 22 April 2011. The red line (see (a)) marks the location of Wuhan. The locations of Taklimakan, Gobi, and Wuhan are marked in (f).
