Determination of the scattering function of atmospheric aerosols with a telephotometer
Abstract
Description of a procedure for determining the scattering function of atmospheric aerosols by using a telephotometer to measure the illuminance of the sun relative to light scattered in a cone of air extending horizontally from the instrument. Although the telephotometer is described elsewhere, interpretation of measurements is explained in detail and measured scattering function curves near Boulder, Colorado are plotted for particles and aerosols.
