摘要
Simultaneous measurements of aerosol absorption and scattering coefficients for the PM2.5 aerosols particles were done at Delhi during April 2008-March 2009 to estimate the aerosol single scattering albedo (SSA) and the Angstrom absorption exponents at the surface. The annual average SSA at 0.55 mu m was found to be 0.70 +/- 0.07 with only slight variations during the four seasons, summer (0.63 +/- 0.06), monsoon (0.69 +/- 0.07), winter (0.74 +/- 0.03) and spring (0.72 +/- 0.04). However, large variations in average absorption and scattering coefficients were seen during these four seasons. The average absorption coefficients during summer, monsoon, winter and spring were found to be 62.47 +/- 21.27, 50.95 +/- 43.61, 189.65 +/- 85.94 and 90.65 +/- 33.06 Mm(-1) respectively. The corresponding scattering coefficients were 110.46 +/- 36.15, 95.34 +/- 49.46, 565.59 +/- 274.59 and 236.56 +/- 96.25 Mm(-1). The Angstrom absorption exponent (alpha(sigma(abs))) remained close to unity throughout the year averaging at 1.02 +/- 0.08, 1.02 +/- 0.10, 1.04 +/- 0.11, and 1.03 +/- 0.05 during summer, monsoon, winter and spring seasons respectively, strongly indicating that the absorption at Delhi aerosol is mainly due to the abundance of black carbon of fossil fuel origin.
