Book Description
We report in this paper the relevant results obtained for the calculation and the retrieving of the optical properties of the particles that can constitute the atmospheric aerosols. In the first section we present the preliminary results of computations of the optical properties (extinction and backscattering) for low density dispersions of particles with an irregular shape. These particles are modelled as clusters of spheres and the calculated Lidar ratios will be compared with the other computations performed using spheres with Mie theory. The values of the lidar ratio will also constitute the data base for the interpretation of the experimental data obtained with LIDAR systems. In the second section we implemented a neural network that proved to be a useful tool for the recognition of the microphysical properties of a low density dispersion of spherical particles from the angular pattern. In future we plan to extend the algorithm to the recognition of the optical parameters for nonspherical particles. In the third section we have explored the scattering properties of the irregular shaped aerosols by means an angular analysis in the IR-VIS range aimed to compare the calculated scattering patterns with the experimental ones obtained with a two-dimensional angular optical scattering device (TAOS). More extended comments are contained in a paper that will be published in Applied Optics.

Book Description
Aerosol models have been developed for the lower atmosphere. These models are representative of conditions found in rural, urban, and maritime air masses. The changes in the aerosol properties with variations in the relative humidity are discussed. To describe the aerosol optical properties in the extreme of 100 percent relative humidity, several fog models are presented. For each model the coefficients for extinction, scattering, and absorption, the angular scattering distribution, and other optical parameters have been computed for wavelengths between 0.2 and 40 microns. These aerosol models are presented together with a review of their experimental basis. The optical properties of these models are discussed and some comparisons of the model with experimental measurements are presented.

Book Description
This new text offers experienced students a comprehensive review of available techniques for the remote sensing of aerosols. These small particles influence both atmospheric visibility and the thermodynamics of the atmosphere. They are also of great importance in any consideration of climate change problems. Aerosols may also be responsible for the loss of harvests, human health problems and ecological disasters. Thus, this detailed study of aerosol properties on a global scale could not be more timely.

Book Description
A series of tables and charts is presented from which the atmospheric transmittance between any two points in the terrestrial atmosphere can be determined. This material is based on a set of five atmospheric models ranging from tropical to arctic and two aerosol models. A selected set of laser frequencies has been defined for which monochromatic transmittance values have been given. For low resolution transmittance prediction, a series of charts has been drawn providing the capability for predicting transmittance at a resolution of 20 wavenumbers. Separate sections are included on scattered solar radiation, infrared emission, refractive effects, and attenuation by cloud and fog.

Separate sections are included on scattered solar radiation, infrared emission, refractive effects, and attenuation by cloud and fog. This third edition differs from the others in that the low resolution spectral curves for the uniformly mixed gases and in the short wavelength region for water vapor have been revised, providing some overall improvement in accuracy; and more importantly, an appendix has been added providing model data and equivalent sea level path data for the U.S. Standard Atmosphere, 1962.
