Abstract In recent years, data from satellite-borne lidar CALIPSO/CALIOP and ground-based lidar networks, such as AD-Net, have become essential for aerosol and cloud studies related to global warming and the regional environment. In addition, lidars provide valuable data to study urban air pollution and volcanic ash monitoring, etc. This special issue on lidar data utilization presents six review papers on the following subjects: derivation of global three-dimensional aerosol distributions using CALIPSO and MODIS; studies of aerosol-cloud interactions using CALIPSO, CloudSat, MODIS, and microwave radiometers; dust prediction using CALIPSO data assimilation; validation and assimilation of chemical transport models using AD-Net and CALIPSO; study of three-dimensional diffusion/variation of air pollutants utilizing a MAX-DOAS and a scanning coherent Doppler lidar; and study on volcanic ash monitoring near the Sakurajima vent using two Mie scattering lidars. |
