Spatial variability of the characteristics of atmospheric aerosol
Abstract
The book describes studies on the effect of meteorological processes on aerosol characteristics. Consideration is given to microphysical characteristics and optical parameters of atmospheric aerosols, to the vertical distribution of aerosols' scattering coefficients and the variability of microphysical and optical aerosol characteristics, and to microscale and mesoscale nonuniformity of aerosols. Instruments used for aerial sensing of aerosols are described together with methods for measuring aerosol characteristics. Attention is also given to microphysical and optical models of the aerosol atmosphere.
