Complex refractive indices and single scattering albedo of global dust aerosols in the shortwave spectrum and relationship to iron content and size (original) (raw)
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics Discussions
The optical properties of airborne mineral dust depend on its mineralogy, size distribution, shape, and might vary between different source regions. To date, large differences in refractive index values found in the literature have not been fully explained. In this paper we present a new dataset of complex refractive indices (m=n-ik) and single scattering albedos (SSA) for 19 mineral dust aerosols over the 370-950 nm range in dry conditions. Dust aerosols were generated from natural parent soils from eight
