Calibration of the Cloud Extinction Probe

1 May 2009 - 30 October 2009

Lead Scientist: Alexei Korolev

Observatory: AAF, NSA

In the absence of the calibrating standards for calibrations of transmissiometers it is proposed to develop a laboratory installation for calibration of the Extinction probe and accomplish theoretical estimations of the effect of particle sizes on the measured extinction coefficient based on Mie calculations. For the laboratory calibrations it is suggested to use a set of special custom made glass plates covered with monodisperse dots. The results of calibrations will be used to develop a correction algorithm for the measured extinction coefficient
