Abstract:<p>The refractive index (RI) of aerosol is an important parameter that reflects the scattering and absorption capacity of aerosol and is widely used in atmospheric models and remote sensing studies. It depends on several properties such as chemical species, moisture content, etc. RI is usually obtained by the chemical method using a volume mixing ratio of known chemicals and by the optical method based on extinction, scattering and/or absorption coefficient using Mie theory. However, these method… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
