Microphysical modelling of aerosols in the ORAC retrieval

Abstract:

This thesis describes an investigation of, and improvements to, the microphysical modelling of aerosols in the Oxford-Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Aerosol and Clouds retrieval (ORAC), which is used to obtain aerosol properties from measurements by the Advanced Along Track Scanning Radiometer (AATSR). Modelling decisions determine the light scattering properties of the aerosol classes which in turn alter the retrieved aerosol properties: aerosol optical depth, and effective radius.
