In St. Petersburg, from 2014 to the present, studies of atmospheric pollution by aerosol particles have been carried out using an aerosol Nd:YAG laser of a stationary lidar complex of the Resource Center “Observatory of Ecological Safety”, Science Park, St. Petersburg State University. The studies are of an important applied nature, as they allow tracking changes in the content of aerosol pollutants over a metropolis, which have a direct impact on health and the quality of life of the population living in the study area. In this paper, the authors compared the aerosol optical depth measured by the stationary lidar complex and a solar photometer in order to assess the similarities and differences in the trends in the data obtained by the lidar and the photometer in different seasons in St. Petersburg and Peterhof. The devices are located at a distance of 25.8 km. The study of aerosol optical depth in the air column from the lower measurement point to the upper part of the troposphere was carried out from 2014 to 2021, the measurement data obtained by the instruments on the same day were compared. Comparison of 56 lidar and photometer measurements for the 532 nm channel and 52 measurements for the 355 nm channel was performed. The aerosol thickness measured by the lidar and the photometer is higher on spring and summer days. At a wavelength of 355 nm, it is: 0.15 and 0.12 in spring, 0.26 and 0.16 in summer, 0.12 and 0.10 in autumn, 0.12 and 0.08 in winter for the spectrophotometer and the lidar, respectively. At a wavelength of 532 nm, it is 0.09 and 0.05 in spring, 0.14 and 0.06 in summer, 0.08 and 0.02 in autumn, 0.08 and 0.02 in winter. The increased content of aerosols in spring and summer can be explained by the rise of aerosol particles together with convection currents during the heating of the planetary boundary layer. The optical depth data of the lidar and photometer are in a satisfactory agreement.
Keywords: lidar, aerosol, optical depth, photometer
