This page provides online access to the AERCOMP program developed by Rublev, 1994. It makes possible to obtain the integrated optical properties, i.e.the extinction coefficient, the single scattering albedo, the asymmetry factor, the normalization factor, and the aerosol phase function of a non-cloudy atmospheric aerosol composed by the user from basic aerosol constituents.
The user should fill up the input fields of Table
1 (particle number concentrations (in particles per cm3)
of the basic aerosol constituents- 0 denotes that a corresponding constituent
is absent in the aerosol of interest) and click the Submit button.
The program outputs the results of calculations
in two files with the default names extinct.txt (ASCII) andphase.bin
(binary) which should be saved on the user's host.
Note that the aerosol integrated optical properties
are calculated at the fixed values of wavelengths and angles stored in
the lm_sh.dat and
ug_204.dat
files respectively. For computations at user-defined values of wavelengths
and angles, one should install the AerComp.for program and the associated
files on the user's host following the directions in the GEISA-aerosol
sub-database section. Click here
for details.
Output files format.
The extinct.txt file containing the
extinction coefficient, the single scattering albedo, the asymmetry factor,
and the normalization factor has the same format as, for example,
s_cont.dat
file described in the GEISA-aerosol sub-database section.
The format of the phase.bin file with the
aerosol phase function is described here.
