Abstract

Dust influences climate and weather by direct and indirect radiative effects or heterogeneous ice nucleation. Dust is often transported to and across Tajikistan. Tajikistan and Central Asia suffer from climate change and the potential role of dust needs to be investigated. But up to now, only a small number of measurements are available in that region, especially no vertical profiles of aerosol optical properties are known. Therefore the Central Asian Dust EXperiment (CADEX) conducts first lidar measurements in Tajikistan for long-term vertically resolved aerosol measurements from March 2015–September 2016. The multiwavelength polarization Raman lidar Polly^XT is used for these measurements. Two characteristic measurement examples of dust layers are presented in this contribution.
