Abstract

Size distribution of desert aerosols was measured via LiDAR multi-spectral method using laser wavelengths from UV to mid-IR \lambda = 0.193, 0.694, 1.064, 3.370 and 10.60 \mu m, and applying statistical Markov chains and genetic algorithms. Our results are compared later with the well-known Chomette's desert model.
