The vertical profiles and optical properties of Asian dust are investigated using ground-based measurements from 1998 to 2002. Vertical profiles of aerosol extinction coefficient are evaluated using MPL (Micro Pulse Lidar) data. Optical parameters such as aerosol optical thickness ( $ tau$ ), ${ AA}ngstr ddot{o}m$ exponent ( $ alpha$ ), single scattering albedo ( $ omega$ ), refractive index, and volume size distribution are analyzed with sun/sky radiometer data for the same period. We can separate aerosol vertical profiles into three categories. First category named as 'Asian dust case', which aerosol extinction coefficient is larger than $0.15km^{-1}$ and dust layer exists from surface up to 3-4km. Second category named as 'Elevated aerosol case', which aerosol layer exists between 2 and 6km with 1-2.5km thickness, and extinction coefficient is smaller than $0.15km^{-1}$ . Third category named as 'Clear sky case', which aerosol extinction coefficient appears smaller than $0.15km^{-1}$ . and shows that diurnal variation of background aerosol in urban area. While optical parameters for first category indicate that $ tau$ and $ alpha$ are $0.63{ pm}0.14$ , $0.48{ pm}0.19$ , respectively. Also, aerosol volume concentration is increased for range of 1 and $4{ mu}m$ , in coarse mode. Optical parameters for second category can be separated into two different types. Optical properties of first type are very close to Asian dust cases. Also, dust reports of source region and backward trajectory analyses assure that these type is much related with Asian dust event. However, optical properties of the other type are similar to those of urban aerosol. For clear sky case, $ tau$ is relatively smaller and $ alpha$ is larger compare with other cases. Each case shows distinct characteristics in aerosol optical parameters. |
