Development of an Empirical Model of Optical Characteristics of Aerosol in Western Siberia

Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics volume 34, pages 320–326 (2021)Cite this article

Abstract

We present a new development stage of a generalized empirical model of optical characteristics of tropospheric aerosol in Western Siberia. An algorithm is suggested for taking into account the distribution function of absorbing matter and the condensation activity of aerosols as functions of aerosol particle sizes. Optical characteristics have been calculated with the complex refractive index of particles of different sizes variable with the relative air humidity. With aerosol weather types, referred to as “atmospheric haze” type (background and suburban haze), used as an example, the results of retrieving the angular scattering coefficients at small angles and the spectral behavior of the extinction coefficients are compared with experimental data.
