This project is an airborne laser radar (Lidar) study of the                    characteristics of arctic haze and stratus clouds.  It will focus               specifically on aerosol and trace gas concentrations in the arctic              atmosphere, and on the effects of combustion products, sulfur species           (DMS), and water vapor generated locally and introduced at the surface.         The lidar will be flown on board a WP-3D aircraft operated by the               National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and a C-131A            research aircraft operated by the University of Washington.                                                                                                     The lidar will provide information on the spatial characteristics of            arctic haze layers, the presence and height of the surface temperature          inversion, and the size and spacing of cracks and open areas in the             arctic sea ice.  It does this through the observed backscatter                  characteristics of particles in conjunction with simultaneous supporting        observations of the scattering function of the particles.  The lidar is         capable of resolving vertical structure on the order of ten meters, and         horizontal structure on the order of one hundred meters, and has a              demonstrated ability to observe the multiple laminated nature of arctic         haze, particularly in summer when observations have heretofore been             rare.  Simultaneous dropwindsondes will indicate whether the haze layers        are passively advected or if they are actively advecting into the               surrounding air mass.
