Abstract

The upper troposphere plays a critical role in climate modulation and radiative forcing due to the presence of aerosol layers. This study utilizes Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) to characterize aerosol concentrations, vertical profiles, and seasonal variations in the upper troposphere over northern Pakistan. The data, collected using a ground-based micro-pulse LIDAR system, reveal significant stratification of aerosols, especially during spring and post-monsoon periods. The study provides valuable insights into long-range aerosol transport, vertical distribution, and potential sources, aiding regional climate models and pollution control policies.
