Description

A short talk on the atmospheric monitoring efforts undertaken at the H.E.S.S. site in Namibia and how the data is used in this ground-based gamma-ray astronomy experiment. Particular focus will be given toward single scattering lidars and the extinction of Cherenkov light due to low-level aerosol populations.
