Aerosol number concentrations in Aral Sea region were measured by airborne ruby lidar. Traditional lidar technique was used. The unconventional airborne lidar techniques have been developed. These techniques are based on new solutions of lidar equation found to invert it without traditional {open_quotes}a priori{close_quotes} assumptions. They assume that investigated atmospheric volume is sounded by lidar system transmitting pulses along different directions. Two ruby lidars transmitting pulses along opposite directions were installed on board the aircraft and optical parameters of the atmosphere in Arctic were obtained. 10 refs., 2 tabs.
