Aerosol Back Scattering Coefficient

An integrating nephelometer (TSI 3563) to determine aerosol back scattering coefficient. These measurements include the aerosol back scattering coefficient at three wavelengths (450, 550 and 700 nm) since 2006.

Purpose

The determination of the direct effects of aerosols on the earth radiation balance requires quantitative information on the optical properties of atmospheric aerosols.

Through scattering and absorption of solar radiation, aerosols can cool or warm the Earth’s atmosphere and alter the climate. Measuring the scattering variability is a try to understand how the aerosol optical properties vary with time, season and long range transport of pollutants.
