Aerosol light scattering measurements were carried out using a TSI 3563 Nephelometer at the Mace Head Atmospheric Research Station, on the west coast of Ireland from year 2001-2010. A strong seasonal trend in the aerosol light scattering coefficient at 550nm (sigma(cat)), for clean marine air masses...
