A comparison of computed and experimental spectral transmissions through haze.
Spectral transmissions through haze are computed using meteorological observations to specify aerosol scattering and water vapor, carbon dioxide, and ozone absorption. The computed spectral transmissions are compared with the appropriate experimental transmissions to evaluate the degree to which a natural spectral transmission can be simulated by a computed spectral transmission. The comparison indicates that the dominant atmospheric attenuating parameter is the absolute distribution of aerosols.
