BackForward 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.
