Lidar observations in South America: Part II - troposphere. In: HAMMOND, ANDREW (ed.). <b>Remote Sensing</b>. London, United Kingdom: IntechOpen, 2021. , cap. 2. p. 1-36.

Disponível em: http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/32813.http://repositorio.ipen.br/handle/123456789/32813In Part II of this chapter, we intend to show the significant advances and results concerning aerosols’ tropospheric monitoring in South America. The tropospheric lidar monitoring is also supported by the Latin American Lidar Network (LALINET). It is concerned about aerosols originating from urban pollution, biomass burning, desert dust, sea spray, and other primary sources. Cloud studies and their impact on radiative transfer using tropospheric lidar measurements are also presented.1-36openAccessenvironmentenvironmental qualityair qualityair pollution monitoringcontrolled atmospheresaerosolsoptical radaratmospheressatellite atmospheresCapítulo de livro10.5772/intechopen.9545120000-0002-9691-5306https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9691-5306
