An empirical model of optical and radiative characteristics of the tropospheric aerosol over West Siberia in summer
V. E. Zuev Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Tomsk, Russia
Abstract. An empirical model of vertical profiles of the aerosol optical characteristics is described. It has been constructed based on the data of multiyear airborne sensing of optical and microphysical characteristics of the tropospheric aerosol over West Siberia at the altitudes 0–5 km. The model proposed allows using season, air mass type, and time of the day as its input parameters. For solar radiative flux calculations, this empirical model has been tested for the mean conditions of the summer season. The available experimental database and the model developed on its basis are shown to be sufficient to perform these calculations taking into account the regional features of West Siberia.
