Forest Fire Smoke Layers Observed in the Free Troposphere over Portugal with a Multiwavelength Raman Lidar: Optical and Microphysical Properties
Figure 8
Extinction-related Ångström exponent and effective radius of forest fires smoke, based on Raman lidar measurements versus transport time. The results from the different cases measured at Évora are shown (crosses) as well as the average values (open squares). The average values from Alados-Arboledas et al. [27] are also shown (circles). The thick lines denote the first-order exponential fitting curves and the shaded areas represent the possible ranges for the parameterization according to the fitting parameters and respective fitting errors from Müller et al. [17].
