We developed an improved method to estimate the size and amount of aerosol particles using measurements from the world’s first spaceborne high spectral resolution lidar. Tests with different aerosol types show that the method can provide reliable results and improve the description of larger particles. This work demonstrates the potential of future satellite observations to deliver a clearer picture of global air pollution and its role in climate.
