- W3129740946 abstract "Abstract. Raman lidar data obtained over a one year period has been analyzed in relation to aerosol layers in the free troposphere over the Highveld in South Africa. In total, 375 layers were observed above the boundary layer during the period 30 January 2010–31 January 2011. The seasonal behavior of aerosol layer geometrical characteristics, as well as intensive and extensive optical properties were studied. The highest center heights of free tropospheric layers were observed during the South African spring (2520 ± 970 m a.g.l.). The geometrical layer depth was found to be maximum during spring, while it did not show any significant difference for the rest of the seasons. The variability of the analyzed intensive and extensive optical properties was high during all seasons. This was attributed to the mixing state of aerosols and the different transport paths of the aerosol layers. Layers were observed at a mean altitude of 2100 ± 1000 m a.g.l. with an average lidar ratio of 67 ± 25 sr (mean value with one standard deviation) at 355 nm and a mean extinction-related Ångström exponent of 1.9 ± 0.8 between 355 and 532 unit{nm} during the period under study. During southern hemispheric spring, the biomass burning activity is clearly reflected in the optical properties of the observed free tropospheric layers. Specifically, lidar ratios at 355 nm were 57 ± 20 sr , 65 ± 23 sr, 59 ± 22 sr and 89 ± 21 sr during summer (December–February), winter (June–August), autumn (March–May) and spring (September–November), respectively. The extinction-related Ångström exponents between 355 and 532 nm measured during summer, winter, autumn and spring were 2.4 ± 0.9, 1.8 ± 0.6, 1.8 ± 0.9 and 1.8 ± 0.6, respectively. The mean columnar aerosol optical depth (AOD) obtained from lidar measurements was found to be 0.46 ± 0.35 at 355 nm and 0.25 ± 0.2 at 532 nm.The contribution of free tropospheric aerosols on the AOD had a wide range of values with a mean contribution of 46%." @default.
