Abstract:

The spectral dependence of the extinction coefficient is considered for aerosol polydispersions observed near sources of pollution in the atmospheric surface layer. It is shown that for polydispersions comprising large strongly absorbing particles this spectral dependence is well approximated by the quadratic one. Range of application of this approximation is specified based on model calculations. The effect of the measurement error on the approximation one is analyzed.
