Knowledge of the vertical distribution of aerosols in the free troposphere is important for estimating their impact on climate. In this study, direct observations of the vertical distribution of aerosols in the free troposphere are made using surface Micro-Pulse Lidar (MPL) measurements. The MPL measurements were made at the Loess Plateau (35.95°N, 104.1°E), which is near the major dust source regions of the Taklimakan and Gobi deserts. The vertical distribution of the MPL backscattering suggested that nond...

1 Introduction The vertical distribution of dust aerosols is a critical problem in estimating the effect of dust on radiative forc- ing and its associated climate impacts (Claquin et al., 1998; Zhu et al., 2007; Forster et al., 2007). An analysis of obser
