A tropospheric lidar system was installed in Punta     Arenas, Chile (53.13°S, 70.88°W) in September     2016 under the collaboration project SAVERNET     (Chile, Japan and Argentina) to monitor the     atmosphere. Statistical analyses of the clouds and     aerosols behavior and some cases of dust detected     with lidar, at these high southern latitude and cold     environment regions during three months (austral     spring) are discussed using information from     satellite, modelling and solar radiation ground     measurements.
