Abstract:
The work presents the study results of sensitivity to measurement errors of authors’ algorithm for retrieval of optical and microphysical aerosol characteristics in the total atmospheric column. The results of testing on the basis of measurements under strong and moderate aerosol pollution of the cloudless atmosphere are discussed. The average values of optical and microphysical aerosol characteristics, retrieved with photometric measurements at Tomsk AERONET station in 2004–2009 for cases with aerosol optical depth less than 0.4 in a spectral channel of 440 nm, are presented.
