Abstract :
The European Aerosol Research LIdar NETwork (EARLINET) is the first aerosol lidar network on a continental scale with the main goal to provide a comprehensive, quantitative, and statistically significant database for the aerosol distribution over Europe. Next, we present EARLINET along with the main network activities.
