Abstract
The report presents the results of a comprehensive experiment on the study of the atmosphere over Lake Baikal, which was carried out in July - August 2019. Remote investigation of aerosol content in the troposphere was carried out using mobile lidars. One of the lidars was installed on board the research vessel «Academician Koptyug». The route of the vessel covered the entire water area of the lake. The second lidar for the entire duration of the experiment was located on the southeastern shore of Lake Baikal. The period of the experiment coincided with extensive forest fires in Eastern Siberia. The lidar data made it possible to reconstruct the spatiotemporal distribution of the smoke aerosol over the Baikal water area and estimate its optical depth, the values of which, in extreme cases, reached up to τ ≈4.
