Abstract:

Choice of microstructure characteristics is discussed for use in calculations of optical characteristics of atmospheric aerosol. Corresponding data are presented which are used to describe the particle size distribution functions of the basic fractions of near-ground atmospheric aerosol. Values of the complex index of refraction are provided for the 0.3-15 μm wavelength range, and procedure for allowing the aerosol transformation due to varying air humidity is described.
