Abstract

This dataset contains data from the University of Manchester EXtinction, SCattering and Absorption of Light for AirBorne Aerosol Research (EXSCALABAR) collected at the University of Exeter, between May and June 2019, and at the University of Manchester, between January 2020 as part of the Soot Aerodynamic Size Selection for Optical properties (SASSO) project. EXSCALABAR is a custom-built aerosol optical spectroscopy instrument. In this study, it was used to measure the absorption and extinction coefficients of particles at 405 nm and 660 nm. These data were then used to derive the refractive index of the aerosols.
This version 0 dataset contains light absorption/extinction coefficient at multiple wavelengths. The EXSCALABAR is operated by Met office scientists.
