ABSTRACT: In this paper, the authors
numerically analyzed the analytical relationships between angstrom coefficients
and optical properties of aerosols to the existing data extracted from OPAC at
the spectral length of 0.25 μm to 2.5 μm at eight relative humidity for desert,
urban, marine clean and continental clean aerosols. That is apart from their
relationships with the wavelength that was determined, in this paper their
relation with respect to aerosols’ type and RHs are determined. The properties
extracted are scattering, absorption, and extinction coefficients and single
scattering albedo. The results showed that the extinction and single scattering
albedo are correct for all the aerosols but single scattering co-albedo is satisfied for only sahara and continental clean.
