Abstract

Measurements of aerosol backscatter coefficients at 10.6 micrometers wavelength have been obtained with a focused continuous-wave (CW) CO2 Doppler lidar (Jones et al, 1984) in August, 1986, at the Mauna Loa Observatory (MLO) on the island of Hawaii. Concurrent measurements were obtained of related aerosol physicochemical properties. To the authors’ knowledge, these CO2 backscatter measurements are the first ever obtained in free tropospheric airmasses over the remote Pacific Ocean. Previous measurements of this kind were restricted to Pacific airmasses advected over CO2 lidar test sites on or near large land masses (Menzies et al, 1984).
