Retrieval of stratospheric aerosol size distribution from atmospheric extinction of solar radiation at two wavelengths.

چکیده
The possibility of retrieving size distribution of aerosol particles in the stratosphere by measuring the extinction of solar radiation traversing the aerosol medium at two different wavelengths is explored in this work. This paper presents a parametric study of the effects of size distribution and composition of stratospheric aerosols on the value R, the ratio of extinction of solar radiation at wavelength 0.45 Atm to the extinction at

The MultiFilter Rotating Shadowband Radiometer (MFRSR) (Harrison and Michalsky 1994a, 1994b) measures atmospheric column extinction of the direct solar beam and the diffuse radiation intensity at six wavelengths. Located at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York City, the instrument has six spectral channels at 415, 501, 616, 672, 870...
متن کاملRetrieval of stratospheric aerosol size information from OSIRIS limb scattered sunlight spectra
Recent work has shown that the retrieval of stratospheric aerosol vertical profiles is possible using limb scattered sunlight measurements at optical wavelengths. The aerosol number density profile is retrieved for an assumed particle size distribution and composition. This result can be used to derive the extinction at the measured wavelength. However, large systematic error can result from th...

The recent development of satellite observations of limb scattered sunlight at optical wavelengths has afforded a new opportunity to measure the vertical structure of atmospheric composition from the upper troposphere to the mesosphere, on a global scale. The determination of profiles of atmospheric composition from observed limb radiance profiles requires two elements, a forward radiative tran...
متن کاملImproved stratospheric aerosol extinction profiles from SCIAMACHY: validation and sample results
Stratospheric aerosol extinction profiles have been retrieved from SCIAMACHY/Envisat measurements of limb-scattered solar radiation. The retrieval is an improved version of an algorithm presented earlier. The retrieved aerosol extinction profiles are compared to co-located aerosol profile measurements from the SAGE II solar occultation instrument at a wavelength of 525 nm. Comparisons were carr...
