Short summary
This study presents an extensive comparison of aerosol extinction using lidar and Stratospheric Aerosol and Gas Experiment (SAGE) II data over Gadanki (13.5ºN, 79.2ºE), a tropical station in India. Results strongly emphasize that, for a more accurate derivation of aerosol extinction over the tropics, (i) best meteorological parameters that are close in terms of space and time to the lidar measurement site and (ii) measured values of the aerosol-backscattering--extinction ratio are crucial.
