Measurements were acquired during an intensive observational period in summer 2012 at Aerosols, Clouds, and Trace gases Research InfraStructure Network (ACTRIS)\/Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) Granada (GRA; 37.16\u00b0N, 3.61\u00b0W, 680 m above sea level (a.s.l.)) and Cerro Poyos (CP; 37.11\u00b0N, 3.49\u00b0W, 1820 m a.s.l.) sites. Both stations operated AERONET sun-photometry, with an additional lidar system operating at Granada station. The extended database of simultaneous lidar and sun-photometry measurements from this study allowed the statistical analysis of vertically resolved microphysical properties retrieved with LIRIC, with 70% of the analyzed cases corresponding to mineral dust. Consequently, volume concentration values were 46 \u03bcm3\/cm3 on average, with a value of ~30 \u03bcm3\/cm3 corresponding to the coarse spheroid mode and concentrations below 10 \u03bcm3\/cm3 for the fine and coarse spherical modes. According to the microphysical properties\u2019 profiles, aerosol particles reached altitudes up to 6000 m a.s.l., as observed in previous studies over the same region. Results obtained from comparing the LIRIC retrievals from GRA and from CP revealed good agreement between both stations with differences within the expected uncertainties associated with LIRIC (15%). However, larger discrepancies were found for 10% of the cases, mostly due to the incomplete overlap of the lidar signal and\/or to the influence of different aerosol layers advected from the local origin located between both stations, which is particularly important in cases of low aerosol loads. Nevertheless, the results presented here demonstrate the robustness and self-consistency of LIRIC and consequently its applicability to large databases such as those derived from ACTRIS-European Aerosol Research Lidar Network (EARLINET) observations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12050842","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,6]],"date-time":"2020-03-06T09:26:41Z","timestamp":1583486801000},"page":"842","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Evaluation of LIRIC Algorithm Performance Using Independent Sun-Sky Photometer Data at Two Altitude Levels"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8718-5914","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda J.","family":"Granados-Mu\u00f1oz","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Granada, Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA), Avda. del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Antonio","family":"Benavent-Oltra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Granada, Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA), Avda. del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7679-6135","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"P\u00e9rez-Ram\u00edrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Granada, Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA), Avda. del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hassan","family":"Lyamani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Granada, Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA), Avda. del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8317-2304","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan Luis","family":"Guerrero-Rascado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Granada, Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA), Avda. del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juan Antonio","family":"Bravo-Aranda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Granada, Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA), Avda. del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0905-4385","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Francisco","family":"Navas-Guzm\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Office of Meteorology and Climatology, MeteoSwiss, CH-1530 Payerne, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonio","family":"Valenzuela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Granada, Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA), Avda. del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francisco Jos\u00e9","family":"Olmo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Granada, Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA), Avda. del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lucas","family":"Alados-Arboledas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Applied Physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Granada, Fuentenueva s\/n, 18071 Granada, Spain"},{"name":"Andalusian Institute for Earth System Research (IISTA-CEAMA), Avda. del Mediterr\u00e1neo s\/n, 18006 Granada, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"IPCC (2013).
