Profiles of aerosol optical properties measured during CAESAR 2014 at Åre, Sweden

Johan Ström

This dataset provides profile measurements of aerosol optical properties (aerosol backscatter and extinction coefficient) using Raman lidar technique. The measurements were carried out at Åre (Sweden) within the Cloud and Aerosol Experiment Åre 2014 (CAESAR 2014 campaign).
