Radiative effects of the arctic haze
During the recent Arctic Gas and Aerosols Sampling Project flight series, the absorption of solar radiation by the Arctic haze was measured directly for the first time. Absorpton was measured in three narrow band channels, and the measurements were used to calibrate a high resolution solar flux mode...
