SO2 absorption by water droplets.

Absorption of light by soot particles in micro-droplets of water

Absorption cross section of carbon soot clusters inside water microdroplets is calculated. Fractal geometry of carbon inclusions is considered with the fractal dimension D in the interval 1 ≤ D ≤ 3, which includes the trivial geometry (D = 3) as a limiting case. It is found that the absorption cross section of a soot cluster inside a water droplet is increased, compared to that in vacuum, by th...

Solar Absorption by Mie Resonances in Cloud Droplets

Recent studies suggest that resonant absorption of sunlight by cloud droplets may constitute a significant and unaccounted-for solar energy sink in the atmosphere. We spectrally resolve, for the first time, all solar absorption, including sharp resonances, in typical liquid water clouds. Resolving all sharp resonances requires a resolution in size parameter χ = 2πr/λ (r—droplet radius, λ—incide...
