Three events of intense Asian dust were occurred in the period and medially detailed structure of atmosphere was found after examining records. Asian dust was distinguished from water droplets and the possibility to study three dimensional dynamic structure of atmosphere were demonstrated. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=WeiHe en-aut-sei=Wei en-aut-mei=He kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KogaRyuji en-aut-sei=Koga en-aut-mei=Ryuji kn-aut-name=古賀隆治 kn-aut-sei=古賀 kn-aut-mei=隆治 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=IokibeKengo en-aut-sei=Iokibe en-aut-mei=Kengo kn-aut-name=五百旗頭健吾 kn-aut-sei=五百旗頭 kn-aut-mei=健吾 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=WadaOsami en-aut-sei=Wada en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=和田修己 kn-aut-sei=和田 kn-aut-mei=修己 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=ToyotaYoshitaka en-aut-sei=Toyota en-aut-mei=Yoshitaka kn-aut-name=豊田啓孝 kn-aut-sei=豊田 kn-aut-mei=啓孝 aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate school of natural science and technology affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate school of natural science and technology affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering en-keyword=Mie lidar kn-keyword=Mie lidar en-keyword=Asian dust (KOSA) kn-keyword=Asian dust (KOSA) en-keyword=depolarization ratio kn-keyword=depolarization ratio en-keyword=backscattering ratio kn-keyword=backscattering ratio en-keyword=range normalized kn-keyword=range normalized END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=37 cd-vols= no-issue=2 article-no= start-page=89 end-page=97 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2003 dt-pub=200303 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Aerosol Extinction Coefficient Continuously Measured with Polarized Mie Scattering Lidar en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Aerosol extinction coefficients of clouds and dust were continuously measured in the year of 2002 with a polarized Mie-scattering lidar controlled by an automatic and remotely operating system utilizing internet services. Measured cloud extinctions were greater than 1.0 km(-1) below the altitude 6 km, 0.17 - 1.0 km(-1) between 6 and 10 km, and 0.091 - 0.3 km(-1) beyond 10km. Extinction of dust were 0.10 and 0.20 km(-1) for Asian dust and 0.057 km(-1) for urban dust. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IokibeKengo en-aut-sei=Iokibe en-aut-mei=Kengo kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ToyotaYoshitaka en-aut-sei=Toyota en-aut-mei=Yoshitaka kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=WadaOsami en-aut-sei=Wada en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KogaRyuji en-aut-sei=Koga en-aut-mei=Ryuji kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Departement of Communication Network Engineering, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=39 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=93 end-page=101 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2005 dt-pub=200501 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=A Scheme to Classify Clouds with the Depolarization Ratio andBackscattering Coeffcient Measured by Lidar en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=The optical properties of clouds were measured with a polarization Mie lidar during April, 2004 and investigated to categorize the particles detected by the lidar. The cloud layers were categorized into five types according to the depolarization ratios, as follows: (I) constant and small (less than 5%); increasing with height (II) nearly from 0% and (III) from about 50%; (IV) large and varying with the backscattering coefficient; and (V) sharply decreasing. This categorization of clouds enabled us to separate aerosols from clouds in a lidar signal. Comparison of the backscattering coefficients between clouds of types (I) and (II) suggested that the depolarization ratio induced by multiple scattering in dense clouds does not depend on the particle density. Estimation of the particle phase for the five cloud categories was also examined. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IokibeKengo en-aut-sei=Iokibe en-aut-mei=Kengo kn-aut-name=五百旗頭健吾 kn-aut-sei=五百旗頭 kn-aut-mei=健吾 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=ToyotaYoshitaka en-aut-sei=Toyota en-aut-mei=Yoshitaka kn-aut-name=豊田啓孝 kn-aut-sei=豊田 kn-aut-mei=啓孝 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=WadaOsami en-aut-sei=Wada en-aut-mei=Osami kn-aut-name=和田修己 kn-aut-sei=和田 kn-aut-mei=修己 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=KogaRyuji en-aut-sei=Koga en-aut-mei=Ryuji kn-aut-name=古賀隆治 kn-aut-sei=古賀 kn-aut-mei=隆治 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol= cd-vols= no-issue= article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2005 dt-pub=20050325 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=自動運転偏光ミーライダによる対流圏エアロゾルの長期連続・定量観測 kn-title=Successive and quantitative monitoring of tropospheric aerosols with an autonomous polarization Mie lidar en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract= en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=IokibeKengo en-aut-sei=Iokibe en-aut-mei=Kengo kn-aut-name=五百旗頭健吾 kn-aut-sei=五百旗頭 kn-aut-mei=健吾 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 END
