Simultaneous retrieval of effective refractive index and density from size distribution and light-scattering data: weakly absorbing aerosol

We propose here a novel approach for retrieving in parallel the effective density and real refractive index of weakly absorbing aerosol from optical and size distribution measurements. Here we define "weakly absorbing" as aerosol single-scattering albedos that exceed 0.95 at 0.5 μm. The re...
