Measurements of the transported smoke layers in 2023 were performed with a lidar in Lille and a 5-channel fluorescence lidar in Moscow. Results show in boundary layer, the peak of fluorescence is at 438 nm while in smoke layer it shifts to longer wavelengths. The fluorescence depolarization is typically 45% to 55%. The depolarization ratio of the water vapor channel is low (2±0.5%) in the absence of fluorescence and can be used to evaluate the contribution of fluorescence to water vapor signal.
