Abstract

A new approach to retrieve the single-scattering albedo (SSA) of Asian dust plume, mixed with pollution particles, using multi-wavelength Raman lidar system was suggested in this study. Asian dust plume was separated as dust and non-dust particle (i.e. spherical particle) by the particle depolarization ratio at 532 nm. The vertical profiles of optical properties (the particle extinction coefficient at 355 and 532 nm and backscatter coefficient at 355, 532 and 1064 nm) for non-dust particle were used as input parameter for the inversion algorithm. The inversion algorithm provides the vertical distribution of microphysical properties of non-dust particle only so that the estimation of the SSA for the Asian dust in mixing state was suggested in this study. In order to estimate the SSA for the mixed Asian dust, we combined the SSA of non-dust particles retrieved by the inversion algorithms with assumed the SSA of 0.96 at 532 nm for dust. The retrieved SSA of Asian dust plume by lidar data was compared with the Aerosol Robotics Network (AERONET) retrieved values and showed good agreement.

본 연구에서는 다파장 라만 라이다 시스템을 이용하여 대기 중의 비구형 순수 황사입자와 구형 오염 입자가 혼합된 황사 입자의 단산란 알베도를 산출할 수 있는 방법론을 제시하고, 실제 대기 관측 사례 분석 자료로부터 정확도를 검증하고자 하였다. 편광소멸도는 황사와 비황사와의 혼합정도에 반비례함을 응용하여 편광소멸도 값으로부터 황사비를 산출하고 이를 이용하여 황사와 비황사로 황사층을 구분하였다. 산출된 비황사의 두 파장(355, 532 nm)의 소산계수와 세 파장(355, 532, 1064 nm)의 후방산란계수를 이용하여 역행렬 분석을 수행하여 비황사의 고도별 단산란알베도를 도출하였다. 황사와 비황사의 가중치를 소산계수값으로부터 산출하고 각 가중치를 황사와 비황사에 적용하여 황사 층 전체의 고도별 단산란알베도를 산출하였다. 단, 황사의 단산란알베도는 순수황사로 가정하여 발원지에서 측정된 순수황사가 나타내는 0.96의 값을 적용하였다. 본 연구로부터 개발된 분석방법은 기존의 원격탐사 기술의 한계점을 극복하여 황사의 이동시 타 오염입자와의 혼합에 따른 광학적 특성의 변화에 대한 정밀한 자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
