| Popis: |
The Naval Oceanic Vertical Aerosol Model (NOVAM) has been formulated to estimate the vertical structure of the optical and infrared extinction coefficients in the marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL). NOVAM was designed to predict the non-uniform and non-logarithmic extinction profiles which are often observed. It is based on a combination of empirical and physical models which describe the aerosol dynamical behaviour. The extinction properties are calculated from the aerosol profiles using Mie theory. For the initial evaluation of NOVAM, data from the July l987 FIRE experiment (conducted off the coast of southern California) was used. Aerosol particle size distributions, aerosol scattering and required meteorological parameters throughout the MABL were obtained from both airborne and surface based platforms (aircraft, ship and balloon instrumentation packages). The aerosol-derived extinction properties throughout the MABL are compared with the NOVAM estimates. |
