Abstract
The long-term data the aureole scattering phase function are analyzed for angles φ = 1.2° and 20° (I1.2 and I20). They were measured with a closed-type halo photometer at the aerosol station in the V.E. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, in 2010–2021. The interannual, annual, and daily variations in the parameters are analyzed. The daily averages of I1.2, I20 are calculated from the hourly data, the monthly averages, from the daily averages, and the annual averages, from the monthly averages. A weak but significant (at the p = 0.05 level) time trend is found only for the interannual values of I1.2, 1.14% per year. In the annual behavior of I1.2 (I20), we clearly discern a monotonic increase (decrease) from winter toward summer months. Smokes from distant wildfires in 2012 and 2016, and partly in 2018 and 2019, disturb this pattern with high I20 values from July to September. The annual variations in the daily behavior of the monthly average I1.2, I20, and the ratio I20/I1.2 are characteristic for continental surface aerosol. Smokes from distant wildfires lead to high I20 values at nighttime, morning, and evening; and the decrease in I20 in the daytime is not significant with the 0.95 probability due to large standard deviations.
