Indices of refraction of various aerosol particles and related data from HITRAN-96

The radiative aerosol data from HITRAN-96 (L.S. Rothman et. al., 1998) have been archived in the GEISA aerosol data bank. Table 1 summarizes the HITRAN-96 information: description of the data is given in column 1, the corresponding references are listed in column 2, and links to the data files are placed in column 3.
