Light absorption by aerosols contributes to solar radiative forcing through absorption of solar
radiation and heating of the absorbing aerosol layer. Besides the direct radiative effect, the …

Visible Light Absorption by Aerosols” Skip to Main Content Taylor and Francis Online homepage …

Aerosols influence the Earth's radiative budget by scattering and absorbing incoming solar
radiation. The optical properties of aerosols vary as a function of wavelength, but few …

The principle, technical details, and performance of the long path extinction spectrometer
(LOPES), a new folded–path extinction cell with a spectral range from the mid–UV (200 nm) …

Data on light absorption by atmospheric particles are scarce relative to the need for global
characterization. Most of the existing data come from methods that measure the change in …

The atmosphere interacts both with incoming as well as outgoing light. Two main processes
take place: light scattering and light absorption. Whereas light scattering redistributes any …

Light absorption by soot or nigrosin dye aerosol particles were measured in the laboratory
using a particle soot absorption photometer (PSAP) and a photo-acoustic spectrometer …

Light scattering, hemispheric backscattering, and absorption properties of submicrometer
and supermicrometer aerosol particles at low relative humidity and 550 nm wavelength are …

High-quality in situ observations of aerosol particle optical properties, namely extinction,
scattering, and absorption, provide important information needed to constrain the role of …

A new multiangle absorption photometer for the measurement of aerosol light absorption
was recently introduced that builds on the simultaneous measurement of radiation …
