Short summary
This study presents a new method combining ground-based measurements and lidar to track how aerosols are distributed at different heights in the atmosphere. By correcting for humidity, which causes aerosols to grow and intensify the lidar signal, the method provides more accurate aerosol vertical profiles. Our results show that aerosol profiles can vary significantly over short distances. This technique can help improve understanding of aerosol-cloud interactions.
