Investigation of Three-Dimensional Evolution of East Asian Dust Storm by Modeling and Remote Sensing Measurements

Figure 4

Left column: vertical distributions of aerosol subtype from CALIOP measurements (0 = not applicable, 1 = clean marine, 2 = dust, 3 = polluted continental, 4 = clean continental, 5 = polluted dust, and 6 = smoke); middle column: vertical distributions of aerosol extinction coefficient at 532 nm from CALIOP; right column: simulated aerosol extinction coefficient at 550 nm. Red contours overlaid on simulation results are fractional contributions of dust to total aerosol extinction coefficient. Dates in figure titles are local standard time while orbit times in figure titles are coordinated universal time.
