Date:5/28/2009

ired a four-year effort, was organized in three main lines: the fine tuning of the equipment; the development of algorithms for profile inversion of aerosol optical properties by active tele-detection, using the Lidar technique; an the taking of measures (from the CEAMA, in Granada) both routine and intensive campaigns of phenomenon as mineral dust intrusions from the desert of Sahara, and in the framework of programmes of validation of satellites of the NASA.

The Lidar technique has been used in different countries all over the world. The station of the Andalusian Centre for Environmental Studies, in Granada, belongs to the European network EARLINET, which also interacts with a global network of solar photometry, Aeronet, coordinated by the Nasa. At present, the EARLINET network is centred on the validation of the data of the satellite Calipso, so that a monitoring of the atmospheric aerosol with vertical resolution at a global scale global can be carried out, for a better understanding of the climatic system of Earth.
