WMO OSCAR | Details for Variable: Light backscattering coefficient [TSP, 532nm]

Variable: Light backscattering coefficient [TSP, 532nm]

Definition

Full name	Light backscattering coefficient [TSP, 532nm]
Definition	Backscattering is scattering in a specific direction (180 degrees with respect to the light source), measured here at a wavelength of 532nm and for total suspended particles.
Measuring Units	m^-1sr^-1	Uncertainty Units	m^-1sr^-1
Horizontal Res Units		Vertical Res Units
Stability Units	(Stability /decade)

Comment:	see scattering coefficient: the aerosol scattering coefficient is a measure of the rate of diminution of transmitted light via scattering processes.
