Abstract:

The peculiarities are discussed of the formation of aerosol field vertical structure derived from an analysis of variations of the scattering coefficients averaged over the period of observation and the altitude behavior of the autocorrelation matrices. Experimental data were obtained in laser sounding of the atmosphere at altitudes up to 1.5–2 km in the daytime in June and July of 1995. Differences were revealed in the diurnal behavior of the scattering coefficients and the degree of their vertical correlation within these months. They can be explained by synoptic conditions and type of observed air masses.
