Scientific paper

The temporal contours of 10.6-micron backscatter on both a clear dry day and a moist cloudy day have been obtained using the NOAA pulsed coherent CO2 Doppler lidar. The data provide clear pictures of the convective mixing of crustal aerosols. By comparing the contours of backscatter during the two periods, it is shown that on moist days the aerosols are transported by the convective clouds to well above the planetary boundary layer and into the free atmosphere, a height greater than that found for dry days.
