Inversion of solar aureole measurements for determining aerosol characteristicsSolar aureole radiance is very sensitively dependent on the aerosol size distributions. The photographic solar aureole isophote (PSAI) measurement technique for determining the aerosol size distribution and other characteristics takes advantage of this sensitivity. Single scattering theory of the solar aureole is given. The assumptions and conditions imposed on the single scattering theory to make it tractable to inversion are discussed. The important role of the almucantar measurements is also discussed.
