Description:Agricultural biomass burning (ABB) has been of particular concern due to its in fluence on air quality and atmospheric radiation, as it produces large amounts of gaseous and aerosol emissions. This paper presents an integrated observation of a signi ficant ABB episode in Nanjing, China, during early June 2011, using combined ground-based and satellite sensors (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, Atmospheric Infrared Sounder, Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Path finder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO), and Ozone Monitoring Instrument products). The time-height distribution, optical properties, sources andtransport of smoke, and its impacts on air quality are investigated. Lidar pro files indicate that the smoke aerosols are con fined to the planetary boundary layer (PBL) and have a depolarization ratio of less than 0.08.
