Determination of Marine Aerosol Properties Using a Bistatic Nephelometer

Our long-term goal is to develop methods to characterize remotely the optical properties of aerosols in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL). The method is based on instruments and analytic methods that use angle-dependent polarization information from the light scattered by aerosols. The in...

Description
Summary:Our long-term goal is to develop methods to characterize remotely the optical properties of aerosols in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL). The method is based on instruments and analytic methods that use angle-dependent polarization information from the light scattered by aerosols. The information derived from these measurements will enable accurate prediction of the aerosol optical properties and consequently their effect on light propagation in the MABL.
