Abstract: In this study the range of visible refractive indices and single-scattering albedos that can be obtained using various mean field formulations for mixtures of two components, where one component absorbs in the visible, is ...

Abstract: Since as early as 1969, solar absorbing aerosols inside of cloud drops have been suggested to influence cloud radiative properties. The absorbing aerosols were invoked to help explain two ?anomalies?: 1) the maximum visible ...

Abstract: Measurements of the ground-level solar irradiance from Palmer Station, Antarctica, and Ushuaia, Argentina, reveal a systematic wavelength dependence in the attenuation provided by cloudy skies. As wavelength increases from ...

Abstract: alculations of the radiative properties of hydrated ammonium sulfate (AS) aerosols often employ the conventional volume mixing rule, in which the refractive indices of AS and water are linearly averaged, weighted by their ...
