Aerosol Optics
Author: Alexander A. Kokhanovsky
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540499091
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
This new text offers experienced students a comprehensive review of available techniques for the remote sensing of aerosols. These small particles influence both atmospheric visibility and the thermodynamics of the atmosphere. They are also of great importance in any consideration of climate change problems. Aerosols may also be responsible for the loss of harvests, human health problems and ecological disasters. Thus, this detailed study of aerosol properties on a global scale could not be more timely.

Atmospheric Optics Measurements with a Balloon-borne Nephelometer
Author: Frank W. Gibson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerosols
Languages : en
Pages : 38
Book Description
A large modified polar nephelometer was constructed for the purpose of making high altitude atmospheric optics measurements. The instrument is balloon-borne and measures the angular volume scattering function from ground to better than 26 km in absolute quantities. The results of the initial flight with the unit are presented and they depict the variability in this parameter over the altitude profile for three scattering angles and four wavelengths. In addition, the polarization and the forward-to-backscatter ratio of the scattered light are shown to be sensitive indicators of the atmosphere's vertical aerosol structure. The import of these preliminary results is, however, in pointing out the capabilities of this instrument, which can provide quantitative information on fundamental optical parameters of the atmosphere without the constraints inherent in other techniques.

Atmospheric Aerosol Scattering Background Observations
Author: Frank W. Gibson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerosols
Languages : en
Pages : 42
Book Description
Optical scattering, under very clear atmospheric conditions, was measured in situ and analyzed. The experiments were made with a large balloonborne nephelometer launched from Holloman AFB, New Mexico and flown to 26 km altitude. Profiles of angular scattering and polarization properties of atmospheric aerosols show contrast with aerosol particles encountered in the troposphere and stratosphere. The results are compared with those obtained using particle counters under similar atmospheric conditions.

Light Scattering by Systems of Particles
Author: Adrian Doicu
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3540336974
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
This book develops the theory of the null-field method (also called T-matrix method), covering almost all aspects and current applications. This book also incorporates FORTRAN programs and simulation results. Worked examples of the application of the FORTRAN programs show readers how to adapt or modify the programs for their specific application.

Tables Related to Light Scattering in a Turbid Atmosphere

Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Aerosols
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The tables present the results of computations of the intensity and the degree of polarization of sky radiation and radiation scattered by a unit volume of air containing natural aerosols. The tabulated data are based upon new values of the scattering functions i sub 1 and i sub 2 and the scattering cross sections k, derived using the Mie theory with m = 1.5. In the case of primary scattering of radiation, the results are valid for a turbid atmosphere. The tables of the scattering coefficients and optical thickness, the absolute scattering functions, the intensities, and the degrees of polarization are computed for various wavelengths between 0.4 and 1.2 microns and for discrete scattering angles between 0 degrees and 180 degrees. Aerosol size distributions of the form dn(r) = c.r/-v dlogr, with v = 2.5, 3.0, and 4.0, are assumed. The lower and upper limits for the size range were chosen as r sub 1 = 0.04, 0.06, and 0.08 micron and r sub 2 = 3, 5, and 10 microns respectively. (Author).
