Optical Extinction Predictions from Measurements on the Open Sea.
Abstract
From aerosol measurements made aboard a ship in the open sea, we calculated extinction coefficients at several optical wavelengths, using the size distribution and Mie theory. We made the measurements at points along a path from the coast of Virginia to Rota, Spain, then into the Mediterranean to Greece. Most of the measurements were made under moderate to high visibility conditions, but fog was encountered once. The measurements are limited by ship influences. (Author)
