Abstract: Formulas that can be used to determine the optical path between two points along an atmospheric ray path are derived for the case when the local zenith angle of the ray path is larger than 70°. For angles less than 70°, ...

Abstract: This paper describes the retrieval of aerosol size distributions from the measurements of multispectral solar extinction data, by the use of two retrieval methods?a fast approximate method and the numerical nonlinear ...

Abstract: The temporal and spatial variations of the zonally-averaged ozone beating rate in the middle atmosphere on a global scale are investigated in detail based on a model study. This study shows that the mean ozone heating rate ...
