The Optical Properties of Aerosols

Abstract

The topics investigated under the present Contract can be summarized as follows: 1. Analysis by nondestructive means of the degree of cleanliness of a metallic or dielectric surface. 2. Determination of the contribution to the greenhouse effect from the ice crystal that are present in the high atmosphere (namely in cirrus clouds). 3. Discrimination of the shape and backscattering properties of atmospheric ice crystals in the millimeter wave range. The results of the above mentioned investigations were exponded in several papers that were already published or are at present in the press. The list of these papers is reported at the end of the present report.
