Abstract: Simultaneous visibility observations and size-number distribution measurements of airborne soil particles were made during incidents of soil erosion in west Texas. Visibilities were calculated by applying Mie scattering ...

Abstract: Tropospheric aerosols from major dust storms (visibility <11 km) originating in cultivated areas of the High Plains in west central Texas and adjacent areas of New Mexico, Oklahoma and Colorado, were sampled by ground-based ...

Abstract: The angular variation of the intensity of light scattered from a collimated beam by airborne soil particles and the size distribution of the particles were measured simultaneously 1.5 m above the ground. These measurements ...

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 ...

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 ...
