On the Wavelength Dependence of the Absorption of Black Carbon Particles: Predictions and Results from the TARFOX Experiment and Implications for the Aerosol Single Scattering Albedo
We present measurements of the wavelength dependence of the aerosol absorption coefficient taken during the TARFOX experiment over the Northern Atlantic. The data show an approximate λ variation between 0.40 μm and 1.0 μm. We explore the theoretical basis of the wavelength variation of the absorption of solar radiation by elemental carbon (or black carbon, BC). For a wavelength independent refr...
متن کاملSaharan dust events at the Jungfraujoch: detection by wavelength dependence of the single scattering albedo and first climatology analysis
Scattering and absorption coefficients have been measured continuously at several wavelengths since March 2001 at the high altitude site Jungfraujoch (3580 m a.s.l.). From these data, the wavelength dependences of the Ångström exponent and particularly of the single scattering albedo are determined. While the exponent of the single scattering albedo usually increases with wavelength, it decreas...
متن کاملIdentification of anthropogenic and natural dust sources using Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Deep Blue level 2 data
[1] Mineral dust interacts with radiation and impacts both the regional and global climate. The relative contribution of natural and anthropogenic dust sources, however, remains largely uncertain. Although human activities disturb soils and therefore enhance wind erosion, their contribution to global dust emission has never been directly evaluated because of a lack of data. The retrieval of aer...
متن کاملRetreat of the North Seasonal Cap of Mars Observed by Omega and Crism
Introduction: Seasonal caps play an important role for surface-atmosphere interactions on Mars, as they trap up to 25% of the atmosphere during winter. While seasonal caps are mainly constituted of CO2 ice, H2O ice and dust play an important role in their evolution. Spectral imaging observations in the near infrared provide unambiguous information on the composition of the seasonal caps as CO2 ...
متن کاملAtmospheric aerosols during the 2003 heat wave in southeastern Spain II: Microphysical columnar properties and radiative forcing
The columnar properties of atmospheric aerosol (size distributions, single scattering albedo and asymmetry parameter) are investigated based on sun/sky photometer measurements obtained during August 2003 at Granada (37.181N, 3.581W, 680m a.s.l.), southeastern Spain. Also, we compute and analyze the average aerosol radiative forcing under two different atmospheric situations that occurred during...
