A Method Analyzing Aerosol Particle Shape and Scattering Based on Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aerosol particle shape is a key parameter affecting its physical characters, especially scattering properties[1]. The information of shape reveals important application in such fields as atmospheric radiation and remote sensing, climate research, radar meteorology[2]. The convenient availability and simplicity of the Lorenz-Mie theory has resulted in a widespread practice of treating non-spherical particles as if they were spheres to which Lorenz-Mie results are applicable. However, the assumption of sphere is rarely made after first having studied the effects of non-sphere and concluded that they are negligible but is usually based on a perceived lack of practical alternatives[3].

It seems that the choice of...
متن کاملPreliminary results of a non-spherical aerosol method for the retrieval of the atmospheric aerosol optical properties
There is experimental evidence that the non-sphericity of certain atmospheric particles can cause scattering properties different from those predicted by standard Mie theory. Numerous studies indicate the need to consider the presence of non-spherical particles in modeling the optical properties of atmospheric aerosols. On the other hand, natural aerosols show a great variety of shapes, making ...

The counting efficiency as a function of particle size has been calculated for a particular forward scattering aerosol particle counter that uses white light illumination for spherical particles with indexes of refraction 1.33-0i, 1.40-0i, 1.50-0i, 1.592-0i, 1.50-0.05i, 1.50-0.1i, 1.50-0.5i, and 1.95-0.66i. The counting efficiency differs from 100% because of statistical effects: photoelectron ...

[1] Monitoring of atmospheric methane (CH4) concentrations from space‐based instruments such as the Scanning Imaging Absorption Spectrometer for Atmospheric Chartography (SCIAMACHY) and the Greenhouse Gases Observing Satellite (GOSAT) relies on observations of sunlight backscattered to space by the Earth’s surface and atmosphere. Retrieval biases occur due to unaccounted scattering effects by a...
