Aerosols and clouds have a strong impact on : Aerosols can also disturb human activities : - Air quality - Climate (direct, semi- direct and indirect effects) - Meteorology - Reduction of visibility - Air traffic disruption (volcanic ashes, desert dust) Introduction 12th EMS Annual Meeting & 9th ECAC I September 2012 I Łódź (Poland) 2

Satellite measurements are limited by clouds and do not supply a vertical profile of the ash cloud An ambiguity in the models outputs regarding position and density. Need confirmation using vertical monitoring. MODIS image on April 15th 2010 In complement to satellite and models, ground based sensors are needed to detect plumes, to determine their height, to identify and quantify the aerosols.  Needs appropriate ground based remote sensors Motivation : needs for ground-based sensors 12th EMS Annual Meeting & 9th ECAC I September 2012 I Łódź (Poland) 3

RMan 510 concept Detection of the layers Getting the position Classification of the aerosols /clouds Quantification (more challenging) [Chazette et al. 2011, Donovan et al. 2011, Wienhold, 2011] We learnt from our previous products, redesigned the hardware and software platform and improved the algorithm 12th EMS Annual Meeting & 9th ECAC I September 2012 I Łódź (Poland) 7

RMan 510 Raman lidar Super Ceilometer  Networkable operational tool: Stand alone with a low maintenance laser (3 years maintenance cycle) 24/7, high data availability  3 channels : 355 //, 355 , 387 N 2 Identify aerosols thanks to Cross-polarization channel (depolarization ratio) 387 nm Raman channel (lidar ratio) Improve the retrieval of optical atmospheric parameters Raman channel for the extinction coefficient  Stand alone remote sensor Self and continuous calibration thanks to the Raman channel No nephelometer or sun photometer are needed 12th EMS Annual Meeting & 9th ECAC I September 2012 I Łódź (Poland) 8

Absolute on-site calibration method realized for each lidar (Alvarez et al. 2006, less than 10% relative error on  p ) Depolarization ratio  p gives information on particle sphericity (low  p for spherical particle ≠ high  p for non spherical particles) Optical properties of aerosols and clouds : depolarization ratio 20-30% Dust aerosols 50-60% Cirrus clouds 12th EMS Annual Meeting & 9th ECAC I September 2012 I Łódź (Poland) 16
