Extraction of bimodal aerosol-size distribution radii from spectral and angular slope (Angstrom) coefficients

Appl Opt. 1993 Mar 20;32(9):1642-5. doi: 10.1364/AO.32.001642.

Abstract

A methodology is defined whereby the effective aerosol bimodal radii of the fine (accumulation) mode and the coarse (supermicron) mode can be directly and simply extracted from slope (Angstrom) coefficients derived from ground-based solar spectral transmission data and aureole scattering data.
