In this Special Issue are reported the latest research results involving active optical remote sensing instruments, both from ground-based to satellite platforms, that are involved in analyzing the vertical and horizontal aerosol and cloud distribution, other than their geometrical, optical and microphysical properties. Those active optical remote sensing techniques are also very useful in determining pollutant dispersion and the dynamics inside the boundary layer. The published studies put in evidence the hidden mechanisms on how pollution from the source is advected transnationally in other countries and the interaction with local meteorology.Research & information: generalbicsscrainfalllidardisdrometerevaporationmeteorologyclimate changelatent heatprecipitationMOD04Dark-TargetDeep-BlueAERONETLiDARAODBeijingChinaCALIPSOdust top heightfrequency of dust occurrencepure dustpolluted dustextinction coefficientabove-cloud aerosollow-level cloudcloud base heightground-based observationsrelative humidity profilethresholdYunnan–Kweichow Plateaulow–latitude plateau monsoon climateaerosol type and sourceaerosol propertiesmonsoon indexseasonal variationaerosolaerosol–cloud interactionsMPLNETimage processingnetworkinfrastructurevirgablack carbonTibetan plateauwater vapor transportSouth Asian summer monsoonEast Asian summer monsoonPM2.5radar wind profilerwind sheardual-field-of-view (FOV)geometric overlap factor (GOF)blind zonetransition zonemass concentrationstereo-monitoring networksDoppler LiDARspatial wind variabilityair qualityturbulent mixingcloudHong Kongaerosolsremote sensingwind lidarair-pollutionradiative effectsground based remote sensingaerosols optical propertieslidar ratioaerosol typeResearch & information: generalLolli Simoneedt1324147Qin KaiedtCampbell JamesedtWang Sheng-HsiangedtLolli SimoneothQin KaiothCampbell JamesothWang Sheng-HsiangothBOOK9910557703303321High Resolution Active Optical Remote Sensing Observations of Aerosols, Clouds and Aerosol-Cloud Interactions and Their Implication to Climate3035951UNINA
