  abstract = {{T}hree ground-based portable low power consumption micro lidars ({MULID}) have been built and deployed at three remote sites in {B}anizoumbou ({N}iger), {C}inzana ({M}ali) and {M}'{B}our ({S}enegal) in the framework of the {A}frican {M}onsoon {M}ultidisciplinary {A}nalyses ({AMMA}) project for the characterization of aerosols optical properties. {A} description of the instrument and a discussion of the data inversion method, including a careful analysis of measurement uncertainties (systematic and statistical errors), are presented. {S}ome case studies of typical lidar profiles observed over the {B}anizoumbou site during 2006 are shown and discussed with respect to the {A}erosol {R}obotic {N}etwork ({AERONET}) 7-day back-trajectories and the biomass burning emissions from the {C}ombustion {E}mission database for the {AMMA} campaign.},
