Descriptions

The Garmisch aerosol lidar measured upper tropospheric and stratospheric aerosol profiles from about 3.5 km to 45 km altitude (by elastic backscatter). The stratospheric aerosol load is calculated by integration from the tropopause level + 1 km to the upper end of the range. Since March 2016 the measurements have been carried out at the Schneefernerhaus research station on Mt. Zugspitze. See https://www-air.larc.nasa.gov/pub/NDACC/PUBLIC/stations/zugspitze/ames/lidar/
