Aerosol Spectroscopy in the Infrared,

Abstract

Aerosol spectroscopy is a new field confronted with placing in proper perspective a large body of existing popular 'fact' which has its basis primarily is aerosol scattering behavior while it ignores aerosol absorption and emission contributions in the infrared. Effects such as aerosol absorption and probable luminescence must be understood before atmospheric modeling, particularly in and near the 8-13 micrometer atmospheric 'window' through which most of the earth's radiative transfer takes place, can be completed. Many unexplained atmospheric phenomena should become understandable through precise modeling.
