The altitudinal variability in angular scattering properties of the troposphere and stratosphere was measured with a balloonborne polar nephelometer. An analysis of interdependent experimental parameters provides information on the scattering phase function and inferred size distribution of aerosol particles as a function of altitude. These aerosol characteristics are extractable from the scattering dissymmetry index and its relationship to spectral dispersion in turbidity and the aerosol phase function. The problem of the correlation between backscatter and extinction is addressed from the perspectives of in situ observations.
利用气球携带的偏振 nephelometer 测量了对流层和平流层角散射特性的高度变化。对相互依赖的实验参数进行分析，可提供关于散射相函数的信息，并推断出气溶胶颗粒的尺寸分布随高度的变化。这些气溶胶特性可从散射不对称指数及其与浊度光谱色散和气溶胶相函数的关系中提取出来。从现场观测的角度探讨了后向散射与消光之间的相关性问题。
