Abstract

We intend to implement a procedure to evaluate hygroscopicity of aerosols in Sao Paulo with Lidar technique, using a multiple wavelengths system, to be carried out at Center of Lasers and Applications. This system should be coupled with a nephelometer for validation and complete the data at ground level, and will be subsequently used to analyze humidified aerosols. (AU)
