GEISA-2003 Aerosols Sub-Database

GEISA-2003 aerosol sub-database contains data on microphysical and optical properties of basic aerosol components (similar with the GEISA-2001 ones, with in addition refractive indices on ternary H₂SO₄/HNO₃/H₂O solution droplets). This sub-database is similar with the GEISA/IASI-2003 one.

The following 4 sub-databases are included :

• Database on refractive indices of basic atmospheric aerosol components : 


• Solid substances 
• Acids
• Water ice
• Water droplets
• Water soluble components
• Thin films
• Ternary H₂SO₄/HNO₃/H₂O solution droplets


• Database on atmospheric aerosols from LITMS (Rublev, 1994) 
• The software package and database OPAC (Optical Properties of Aerosols and Clouds) (Hess et al., 1998)
• The Global Aerosol Data Set: GADS (Köpke et al., 1997)
