Aerosol Total Scattering Coefficient

Aerosol total and back scattering are derived by an integrating nephelometer (model TSI 3563),at three wavelengths (450, 550 and 700 nm) installed in 25 March 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.
