About ABBA

ABBA (Assessment of the relationship between Biomass Burning typology and the Aerosol intensive optical properties from LIDAR measurements during smoke transport) project scope is to develop a methodology which quantifies the relationship between the biomass burning typology and the smoke measurements acquired by lidar in remote locations. Biomass burning typology (or smoke typology) will refer to the vegetation type (land cover). The smoke measurements by lidar (observations) are quantified in terms of IOPs. The analysis will be based on the long timeseries (2008-2018) of lidar measurements at INOE (Magurele, Ilfov) and exiting state-of-the-art algorithms that INOE developed in the framework of the European infrastructure ACTRIS (Aerosol, Clouds and Trace Gases Research Infrastructure - https://www.actris.eu/).
