To answer where the aloft layers may have came from, 24 hour hysplit back trajectories have been run for this morning at 1 km, 3 km, and 6 km. The 3 km and 6 km trajectories are near Nikisa's area of heavy haze/smoke, so it is possible that the aerosols seen in the lidar are from the outskirts of the hazy region.
