Measurements of the Aerosol Light-Scattering Coefficient at Ambient and 85% Relative Humidity on the ONR Pelican During ACE-2

Abstract

The ultimate goal of this study is the determination of aerosol hygroscopicity and its impact on physical (e.g., size) and optical properties (e.g., scattering coefficient) of marine aerosols on large spatial scales. Related to this, a methodology for retrieving the dry aerosol properties from ambient measurements on large spatial scales, for example, by satellite remote sensing, is of great interest.
