Determination of aerosol content in the atmosphereThis investigation is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of determining the aerosol content in the atmosphere from contrast measurements of ground features, and from radiance measurements. Theoretical relationships between aerosol content and contrast reduction and radiance have been derived for ideal model atmospheres. The preliminary data analysis of the MSS transparencies has shown promising results for the contrast-aerosol content relationship in the Salton Sea/desert region.
