A better understanding of atmospheric dust particles facilitates optical modelling
The accurate modelling of the optical properties of atmospheric dust particles properties is remarkably difficult because the particles are irregularly shaped and compositionally varied. A recent study has assessed data obtained from various measures concerning the micro-physical and optical properties of the dust particles and their modelling.
