Description
Summary:The results of synchronous remote (lidar) and direct (balloon) measurements of tropospheric and stratospheric aerosol parameters carried out in Tomsk on January 27–30, 2022 are presented. The objective of the experiment was to work off coupled lidar-balloon observations and to validate aerosol backscatter profiles in the upper troposphere and the stratosphere for developing an all-weather system for lidar-balloon monitoring of spatiotemporal and microphysical aerosol characteristics. A good consistency of the retrieved profiles of the backscatter ratio   was demonstrated for the close wavelengths (528 and 532 nm for the aerosol backscatter sonde and the lidar, respectively). The possibility of expanding two-wave (353 and 532 nm) lidar observations with an additional wavelength set (470, 850, 940 nm) of the optical balloon aerosol sonde was shown for retrieving the microphysical aerosol parameters during coupled lidar-balloon experiments.
