Exploring effects of Boundary Layer RH and Integrated Water Vapor on Aerosol Microphysical Properties
Abstract
In this presentation, we explore the relationship between aerosol microphysical properties including Single Scatter Albedo and Aerosol Angstrom Exponent obtained from a NASA AERONET Radiometer and RH/ Integrated Water Vapor obtained from a MIDAC Microwave Radiometer. Modifications in the angstrom exponent are qualitatively compared to theoretical models of Hygroscopic Aerosol Growth. In addition, statistical analysis of microphysical parameters with RH will provide additional constraints on existing Aerosol Model assumptions used in current Satellite Aerosol Optical Depth Retrievals.
