<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Monaco">The MIRA webinar series has been absent these past several months, but we are happy to announce that we are re-starting the series in the coming New Year. The next webinar is special because we are collaborating
with the PANGEA4CalVal (P4CV) project to organize a presentation by Dr. Guangyao Dai at the Ocean University of China. (This multi-lateral scientific discussion is permitted by the Wolf Amendment and was received favorably by the Office of the General Counsel
at NASA Langley; see <a href="https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/prc-faq-roses">
https://science.nasa.gov/researchers/sara/faqs/prc-faq-roses</a> for NASA frequently-asked-questions about the Wolf Amendment.)

Abstract: The new-generation atmospheric environment monitoring satellite DQ-1, launched successfully in April 2022, carries the Aerosol and Carbon Detection Lidar (ACDL), which is capable of globally profiling aerosol and cloud optical properties with high
accuracy. The ACDL/DQ-1 is a high-spectral-resolution lidar (HSRL) that separates molecular backscatter signals using an iodine filter and has 532 nm polarization detection and dual-wavelength detection at 532 and 1064 nm, which can be utilized to derive aerosol
optical properties. In this talk, the long-chain data processing including data preparation, calibration, retrieval, and the application of the ACDL will be presented.<br>
