Aerosols have a great influence on climate and our health. In order to quantify the radiation effects of aerosols on the regional and global climate, it is very important to evaluate correctly the effects of various types of aerosols. At the moment, there are many algorithms for the identification of different types of aerosols, but most of them do not take into account regional characteristics and need to be corrected. Currently, radiometer CALIOP is the only space-based sensor that observes and reports the vertical distributions of aerosol spatial and optical properties over the globe, and thus CALIOP can provide aerosol stratification data, based on integrated attenuated backscatter, estimated particle depolarization ratio and layer top and base attitude or lidar ratios. In current research the clean marine, dust, continental, polluted dust and dusty marine types are considered. The purpose of this study is to analyze the appearance statistics of these types over the Black Sea region for the last five years. As a result, an environmental assessment of the purity of the atmosphere from pollutants (mainly of natural origin) for the region is given based on aerosols distribution in the troposphere.
Keywords: CALIPSO, remote sensing, dust, depolarization ratio, lidar ratio, AERONET, aerosol optical thickness
