AD-Net, the Asian dust and aerosol lidar observation network, is operated in East Asian counties for creating useful dataset for environmental impact studies. The products from AD-Net have been utilized as the source of data assimilation in a chemical transport model, and as the index of exposure of Asian dust to human in the area. Long term observation is indispensable to estimate climatorogical change of dust density, and sustainable operation strategies are needed for further development of regional lidar network.
