Lidar estimates of birch pollen number, mass, and CCN-related concentrations by M. Filioglou, P. Tiitta, P. Tiitta, X. Shang, A. Leskinen, P. Ahola, S. Pätsi, A. Saarto, V. Vakkari, V. Vakkari, U. Isopahkala, M. Komppula

“…Recently, lidars have been employed to identify and monitor pollen particles in the atmosphere, an understudied aerosol particle with health and possibly climate implications. Lidar remote sensing of pollen is an emerging research field, and in this study, we present for the first time retrievals of particle number, mass, CCN, giant CCN (GCCN), and ultragiant CCN (UGCCN) concentration estimations of birch pollen derived from polarization lidar observations and specifically from a PollyXT lidar and a Vaisala CL61 ceilometer at 532 and 910 nm, respectively.…”
