Description
Horizontal elastic lidar shots towards the Pierre Auger Observatory array, taken every hour, are useful for measuring the homogeneity of the aerosol extinction coefficient at ground level. They also serve to parametrize the relative alignment between laser beam and the mirrors collecting the backscattered light, by studying the variation of the overlap function with azimuth and elevation angle. Results from the last ten years of operation will be reviewed.
