Abstract

We study the benefit of considering sun-/sky-photometer measurements in a microphysical lidar retrieval. Furthermore, to assess the importance of the aerosol model employed by the retrieval, we compare results obtained using a spheroid aerosol model with results using an advanced aerosol model that considers irregular particle shapes. Preliminary results are shown for the mass extinction conversion factor and the single scattering albedo during a measurement case of long-range-transported volcanic ash.
