The Effects of Scattering and Ground Reflection on the Solar Energy Absorbed by Ozone in a Rayleigh Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The effects of Rayleigh scattering and Lambert ground reflection on the solar energy absorbed by ozone in the earth's molecular atmosphere are evaluated on the basis of a complete solution of the transfer equation. The ...
Results of a Comprehensive Atmospheric Aerosol-Radiation Experiment in the Southwestern United States. Part II: Radiation Flux Measurements and Theoretical Interpretation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The experimental results in Part I are used in the theoretical interpretation of the radiation flux measurements which were taken with an aircraft. The absorption term of the complex refractive index of aerosols is estimated ...
Results of a Comprehensive Atmospheric Aerosol-Radiation Experiment in the Southwestern United States Part I: Size Distribution, Extinction Optical Depth and Vertical Profiles of Aerosols Suspended in the Atmosphere
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An exploratory field experiment was undertaken to determine the practicality of a method specifically designed to obtain the optical properties of aerosols as they relate to the earth's radiation balance. The method requires ...
