The role of aerosol layer height in quantifying aerosol absorption from ultraviolet satellite observations

The role of aerosol layer height in quantifying aerosol absorption from ultraviolet satellite observations

<p>The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the role of aerosol layer height (ALH) in quantifying the single scattering albedo (SSA) from ultraviolet satellite observations for biomass burning aerosols. In the first experiment, we retrieve SSA by minimizing the near-ultraviolet (near-UV) ab...
