LIDAR DERIVED PROPERTIES OF AIR-MASSES ADVECTED FROM UKRAINE, SAHARA AND CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS TO WARSAW, POLAND ON 9 - 11 AUGUST 2015.

The aerosol layers of different origin, suspended in the atmosphere on 9-11 August 2015 were observed with the PollyXT-UW lidar in Warsaw, Poland. The HYSPLIT ensemble backward trajectories indicate that the observed air-masses attribute to a few different sources, among others, possible transport paths from Ukraine, Slovakia, and Africa. In this paper, we attempt to analyse and discuss the properties of aerosol particles of different origin that were suspended over Warsaw during this event. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
