Atmospheric aerosol optical properties: a database of radiative characteristics for different components and classes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A database management system has been realized that, by taking physical and chemical properties (the complex refractive index and the size distribution) of basic components as its starting point, allows the user to obtain optical properties of default as well as user-defined aerosol classes. Default classes are defined in accordance with the most widely known and used aerosol models. We obtain user-defined classes by varying the mixing ratio of components, creating new mixtures of default components, or by defining user components, thereby supplying the size distribution and the refractive index. The effect of relative humidity (RH) on the refractive index and the size distribution is properly accounted for up to RH = 99%. The two known mechanisms of obtaining classes from components are allowed (internal or external mixing).
