New operational perspective to identify aerosols and hydrometeors in real-time with a pioneering algorithm (CONIOPOL) based on single-wavelength polarization lidar (CL61)
Air quality monitoring and climate studies require continuous, vertically resolved observations to characterize aerosols and their impact on radiation, cloud microphysics, and atmospheric composition. In this study, we present CONIOPOL (CONIOlogy + POLarization), an automated depolarization-based classification algorit...
