Abstract
Aerosol backscattering sondes in the practice of aerological sounding, along with lidar observations, are used at night to study and monitor polar stratospheric clouds, tropospheric and stratospheric aerosol, cirrus clouds, pyroconvection, volcanic aerosol, as well as to verify remote methods and means of ground-based and satellite-based aerosol observations. For aerosol sondes, a simple two-wave measurement technique is used, which makes it possible to diagnose changes in aerosol composition by color index. The possibilities of the two-wave technique have limitations, which are discussed in this article. Aerological sounding combined with lidar observations expands the wavelength range for multi-wavelength studies, and direct measurements of atmospheric temperature increase the accuracy of aerosol sensing. The paper considers the application of 3 or more wavelenght techniques. Data from probe measurements using wavelengths of 470, 528, 850 and 940 nm and lidar sensing at wavelengths of 355 and 532 nm are presented.
