Optical Characterization of Atmospheric Particulates on San Nicolas Island, California.

Abstract

The US Army Atmospheric Sciences Laboratory at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico, analyzed eight atmospheric particulate samples and one soil and one abalone shell sample taken on San Nicolas Island. These samples were collected by the Naval Weapons Center and Pacific Missile Test Center meteorological personnel for composition and average imaginary refractive index analyses in the visible and infrared spectral region.
