Aerosol Measurements at an Optical Propagation Site on the Outer Hebrides

Abstract

Measurements of aerosol particle-size distributions and meteorological parameters at a land-based optical propagation site in the Outer Hebrides are compared with identical measurements in the open sea and on San Nicolas Island, California. Calculated extinctions due to aerosols are also compared. A brief discussion of the logistics of operating at the site is included.
