The LIDAR results are compared with aerosol extinction measurements from the Stratosphere Aerosol Gas Experiment (SAGE) II, optical depth derived from sun photometers employed under the AErosol RObotic NETwork (AERONET) and backscatter coefficients simulated from weather balloon humidity measurements.enAEROSOLLIDAR measurementsOptical depth measurementsRelative humidityLIDAR backscatter signalAErosol RObotic NETworkRadiosondeAERONETStratosphere Aerosol Gas ExperimentSAGE IIArticleSivakumar, V., Tesfaye, M., Alemu, W., Moema, D., Sharma, A., Bollig, C., & Mengistu, G.
