The effects of the Arctic haze as determined from airborne radiometric measurements during AGASP II
The effect of the Arctic-haze aerosol on the parameters of solar radiation was investigated using airborne radiometric measurements of radiation parameters during the second Arctic Gas and Aerosol Sampling Project. Simultaneously with absorption measurements, optical depths and total, direct, and sc...
