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: generalbicsscabove-cloud aerosolAERONETaerosolaerosol propertiesaerosol typeaerosol type and sourceaerosol-cloud interactionsaerosolsaerosols optical propertiesair qualityair-pollutionAODBeijingblack carbonblind zoneCALIPSOChinaclimate changecloudcloud base heightDark-TargetDeep-BluedisdrometerDoppler LiDARdual-field-of-view (FOV)dust top heightEast Asian summer monsoonevaporationextinction coefficientfrequency of dust occurrencegeometric overlap factor (GOF)ground based remote sensingground-based observationsHong Kongimage processinginfrastructurelatent heatlidarLiDARlidar ratiolow-latitude plateau monsoon climatelow-level cloudmass concentrationmeteorologyMOD04monsoon indexMPLNETnetworkPM2.5polluted dustprecipitationpure dustradar wind profilerradiative effectsrainfallrelative humidity profileremote sensingseasonal variationSouth Asian summer monsoonspatial wind variabilitystereo-monitoring networksthresholdTibetan plateautransition zoneturbulent mixingvirgawater vapor transportwind lidarwind shearYunnan-Kweichow PlateauResearch & 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
