Vertical profile of the aerosol in the atmosphere can be found using a RAW photograph of the path of green laser fired to the atmosphere, directly to the zenith is an example. Low-power highly portable green laser (1000 mW at 632 nm) in continuos mode can be used together with DSLR camera equipped with a fish-eye lens (Canon EOS 6D Mark II + EF8-16mm in our case).
