An 808 nm single-band Mie scattering Scheimpflug lidar system is developed in Dalian, Northern China, for real-time, large-area atmospheric aerosol/particle remote sensing. Atmospheric measurement has been performed in urban area during a typical haze weather condition, and time-range distribution of atmospheric backscattering signal is recorded from March 18th to 22nd, 2017, by employing the Scheimpflug lidar system. Atmospheric extinction coefficient is then retrieved according to the Klett-inversion algorithm, while the boundary value is obtained by the slope-method in the far end where the atmosphere is homogeneous in a subinterval region. The correlation between the extinction coefficients retrieved from the Scheimpflug lidar technique and the PM10/PM2.5 concentrations measured by a conventional air pollution monitoring station is also studied. The good agreement between the measurement results, i.e., a correlation coefficient of 0.85, successfully demonstrates the feasibility and great potential of the Scheimpflug lidar technique for atmospheric studies and applications.
