Abstract

The results of the final stage of comprehensive investigations of the spectral transparency of artifical mists are reported. Preliminary results had been published by us earlier in [1, 2]. On the basis of a mass of experimental statistical data, a final comparison is made between the results of calculating the attenuation coefficients of the aerosol component of clouds and mists according to the method proposed in [2], with the results of obtaining the same coefficients by experimental determination in an artificial cloud chamber. Satisfactory agreement was obtained between calculated and measured values of the relative attenuation coefficients. It is suggested that the considerable divergence between calculated and experimental data on absolute attenuation coefficients is due to a systematic understatement of the droplet concentration value which was determined by means of a flow collector.
