Paper Abstract
Aerosol structure measurements in the troposphere were carried out at the Arctic Lidar Observatory for Middle
Atmosphere Research (ALOMAR), Norway, during summer 2007. ALOMAR troposheric lidar and Cimel CE-318 sun
photometer were used to implement the aerosol measurements. Three wavelengths of the sounding laser radiation were
used during the experiment λ1=1064nm, λ2=532nm and λ3=355nm which brings additional information about
atmospheric aerosol optical and microphysical characteristics in the whole troposphere. The experimental data could be
arranged in two groups: days when Ci-clouds were observed (in June) and days when the meteorological situation is
characterized with clear sunny weather (in the beginning of July). In days with presence of Ci-clouds two layers are
observed in the planetary boundary layer-the first one with maximum height from 1500m to 2000m; the second one
with maximum height from 2000m to 3000m. In clear sunny days few layers are observed with minimum height from
1500m to 2300m and maximum height around H=6000m. The height of the layers remains constant or decrease with
time. The lidar data are juxtaposed with the data obtained by the sun photometer.
