A new method for deriving aerosol solar radiative forcing and its first application within MILAGRO/INTEX-B

We introduce a method for deriving aerosol spectral radiative forcing along with single scattering albedo, asymmetry parameter, and surface albedo from airborne vertical profile measurements of shortwave spectral irradiance and spectral aerosol optical thickness. The new method complements the tradi...
