Spectral light absorption by ambient aerosols influenced by biomass burning in the Amazon Basin. I: Comparison and field calibration of absorption measurement techniques
Spectral aerosol light absorption is an important parameter for the assessment of the radiation budget of the atmosphere. Although on-line measurement techniques for aerosol light absorption, such as the Aethalometer and the Particle Soot Absorption Photometer (PSAP), have been available for two decades, they are limited in accuracy and spectral resolution because of the need to deposit the aer...
متن کاملObtaining Calibrated Marine Aerosol Extinction Measurements Using Horizontal Lidar Measurements, Differential Lidar-Target Measurements and A Polar Nephelometer
Lidars are ideal for mapping the spatial distribution of aerosol concentrations, however efforts to convert the lidar measurements into estimates of the aerosol extinction or scattering coefficient are usually complicated. The difficulties arise from the uncertainty in the aerosol backscatter-to-extinction ratio and the lidar calibration. In marine conditions with little absorption, the aerosol...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic optical properties at UV, VIS, and near IR wavelengths for laboratory generated and winter time ambient urban aerosols
We present the laboratory and ambient photoacoustic (PA) measurement of aerosol light absorption coefficients at ultraviolet wavelength (i.e., 355 nm) and compare with measurements at 405, 532, 870, and 1047 nm. Simultaneous measurements of aerosol light scattering coefficients were achieved by the integrating reciprocal nephelometer within the PA’s acoustic resonator. Absorption and scattering...
متن کاملMeasuring Aerosol Absorption from Omi near Uv Observations
An assessment of OMI retrievals of aerosol properties is presented. We compare OMI retrieved values of extinction and absorption optical depth, and aerosol single scattering albedo to AERONET ground-based measurements. An evaluation of the accuracy of the retrievals for a limited number of observations under cloud-free conditions shows a positive offset of about 0.03 in retrieved optical depth....
متن کاملComparison of Model Estimated and Measured Diffuse Downward Surface Irradiance in Cloud-free Skies
Diffuse downward shortwave irradiance at the surface arises from the scattering of radiation by molecules and aerosol particles. Recently, we reported that pyranometer-measured diffuse solar irradiance in cloud-free atmospheres is overestimated by radiative transfer models at two low-altitude sites by an amount that exceeds modeling and measurement uncertainties but is correctly estimated withi...
