THE MEASUREMENT OF THE ABSORPTION COEFFICIENT OF ATMOSPHERIC AEROSOL

A system for measuring the absorption coefficient of atmospheric aerosol based on the principle of integrating plate has been developed. Measurments in the heating period show that the absorption coefficient of atmospheric aerosols varies in the range of 10-3-10-4 m-1. In the non-heating period, its non-heating period, its value is near 10-4 m-1.
