Atmospheric aerosol characteristcs retrieved by sunphotomei ry and sky radiance measurements in a coastal location.

摘要

Ground-based sunphotometry is known to be a simple and reliable tool for monitoring column integrated composition and optical properties of the atmospheric aerosol.By combination of multispectral measurements of aerosol optical depth performed in visible and in near-infrared spectral ranges and multispectral and multiangle sky radiance measurements it is possible the inference of the aerosol particle size distribution and the aerosol complex refractive index and as a consequence the derivation of other aerosol physical and optical features.In this paper we present the results of a field campaign developed during August-September 2002 at a coastal location in South-eastern Spain (36.82 deg N,2.57 deg W).
