Abstract:

Variability of optical thickness, single scattering albedo, asymmetry factor of the aerosol scattering phase function, is examined in the paper based on measurement data obtained in the cloudless atmosphere in March 2004 at the Zvenigorod Scientific Station of A.M. Obukhov Institute of Atmospheric Physics RAS. The monthly mean values of the short-wave aerosol radiative forcing at the boundaries of the atmosphere under clear sky conditions have been obtained. The aerosol optical parameters and the estimates of aerosol radiative forcing (mean for March) derived from the measurements data of 2004 and with the use of data obtained during the Zvenigorod Aerosol-Cloud-Radiation Experiments in 2001 and 2002 are compared.
