Application of the ultraviolet scanning elastic backscatter LIDAR for the investigation of aerosol variability

Aerosol variability over the southwest region of Slovenia was investigated using an ultraviolet scanning elastic backscatter LiDAR with vertical scanning. The average value of aerosol extinction with the presence of land-based air masses from the European continent was found to be two-times larger than that influenced by marine aerosols from the Mediterranean or Adriatic Sea.

The influence of weather on PM10 pollution of air in Slovenia

Diploma thesis by a student of the School of Environmental Sciences of the University of Nova Gorica prepared under mentorship of professor Klemen Bergant. The thesis is based on the analysis of the influence of meteorological observables and various weather types on PM10 concentrations in the atmosphere. 2009 - 2014 data for 12 different locations in Slovenia was used. In general, PM10 concentrations in the atmosphere were found to decrease with time.

Lidar measurements of Bora wind effects on aerosol loading

We presented a preliminary study of the effects of various weather conditions on the spatial and temporal distribution of aerosol loading in the Vipava valley. In certain cases with strong and moderate Bora we observed periodic atmospheric structures at the height of the orographic barrier.

Analysis of optical properties of the atmosphere in the presence of Saharan dust

Long range transport of aerosols over Slovenia, in particular mineral dust from northern Africa, was studied using a 1064 nm Mie scattering lidar at Ajdovščina. The space-time distribution of aerosols on 16-17 April 2015 was obtained from the two dimensional Time-height-indicator diagrams. The aerosol extinction coefficient was calculated from the lidar data, showing a significant difference between mineral dust and cloud layer.
