Absorption Coefficient of Atmospheric Aerosol: a Method for Measurement
Abstract
Recent models predict that the effect of atmospheric aerosol particles on global temperature depends in part on b(abs,)or on n(2), where b(abs) is the aerosol absorption coefficient, and n(2) is the imaginary part of the aerosol refractive index for radiation in visible wavelengths. Satisfactory techniques for measuring b(abs) have yet to be developed. A method for measurement of b(abs) is described and discussed. The apparatus uses a piece of opal glass to integrate light scattered by particles collected on Nuclepore filters. It is quite mobile, inexpensive, and can be calibrated. Analysis of the errors inherent in the measurement shows it is accurate to well within an order of magnitude for particles of radius larger than 0.1 microm.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
