Short summary
This study presents a novel satellite approach to retrieve the vertical distribution of aerosol chemical species in the atmosphere. By combining spaceborne LIDAR and polarimetric observations, it distinguishes major natural and anthropogenic chemical particle species and their optical properties. Tests with realistic simulations show accurate retrieval of dust, pollution, and sea salt layers, enhancing global monitoring of aerosols relevant to air quality and climate.
