Modeled optical thickness of sea-salt aerosol [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research, 2011 We simulate the generation and microphysical evolution of sea-salt aerosol using a climatologically driven 3-D microphysical model for the year 2006. We then apply Mie theory to calculate the extinction and scattering efficiencies of our transported, size-resolved sea-salt aerosol, accounting for hygroscopic growth due to changes in ambient relative ...

Model-Based Sensitivity Analysis on Aerosol Optical Thickness Prediction
International Journal of Distributed Sensor Networks, 2015 Prediction of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) is important to study worldwide climate changes. Researchers have built multiple AOT prediction models. However, few researches were focused on the validation of input attributes for AOT regression.

Long-Term Analyses of Aerosol Optical Thickness Using Caliop [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 We developed an algorithm to derive extinction coefficients for four aerosol components (water-soluble, dust, sea salt, black carbon) from Cloud-Aerosol Lidar with Orthogonal Polarization (CALIOP) data. The algorithm was applied to the nine-year data for
