NCO_P_2006_03_12_aerosol_scattering_coefficient_1h

At the Nepal Climate Observatory - Pyramid, aerosol total and back scattering coefficients at three wavelengths (450, 550 and 700 nm) are derived by an integrating nephelometer (model TSI 3563).

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.
