Remote sensing and analysis of 2nd order, Arctic-aerosol parameters

Aerosols are commonly defined as atmospheric particles whose size ranges from a small fraction of a micrometer to tens of micrometers. They originate from a large variety of aerosol emission processes : forest fires, wind-blown deserts, gas to particle conversion, volcanic eruptions and ocean wave processes are some of the major natural aerosol sources while fossil fuel combustion due to urban and industrial processes is the most important anthropogenic source. Aerosols can, at least as far as their optical effects are concerned, be largely divided into bi-modal, fine and coarse mode components (roughly sub and super micrometer in radius).
