The document describes aerosol classification and retrieval algorithms developed using lidar measurements from various sources. The NIES operates a network of 20 ground-based lidars across East Asia that measure aerosol backscatter and depolarization. Shipborne and satellite lidar data are also used. The algorithms classify aerosols into components like dust, sea salt, and air pollution using the lidar data. These algorithms can be applied to data from networks and satellites to understand aerosol distributions globally and regionally.
