Optical Aerosol Properties Over the Asian Pacific Ocean

该项目涉及东亚外流中气溶胶光学性质的测量。测量将于2001年春天在NOAA R/V罗恩·布朗号上进行。气溶胶的光散射特性将通过控制相对湿度散射比浊法获得。这些测量将描述环境气溶胶光散射系数及其与可见光波长、散射光方向(总和背面)以及上层粒子在受控相对湿度增加和减少情况下的关系。这些测量将与其他船载气溶胶测量一起使用，以将气溶胶散射与化学成分、折射率和干颗粒尺寸分布联系起来。

This project involves the measurement of aerosol optical properties in east Asian outflow. The measurements will be made during the spring of 2001 aboard the NOAA R/V Ron Brown. Aerosol light scattering properties will be obtained with controlled relative humidity nephelometry. These measurements will describe the ambient aerosol light scattering coefficients and their dependence on wavelength of visible light, direction of light scattered (total and back), and upper particle under increasing and decreasing controlled relative humidity conditions. These measurements will be used in conjunction with other shipboard aerosol measurements to relate aerosol scattering to chemical composition, refractive index, and dry particle size distributions.
