Abstract: They were smaller in the zones than in the belts and there are: 0.00017-0.00041 and 0.00063-0.00098 on the λ = 605 nm; 0.00019-0.00041 and 0.00065-0.00097 on the λ = 631 nm; 0.00017-0.00041 and 0.00070-0.00112 on the λ = 714 nm, 0.00019-0.00044 and 0.00069-0.00111 on the λ= 742 nm, respectively. Perhaps these results are reflecting the difference in the vertical stratification of the nature of cloud layers, as well as the sizes of aerosol particles (in zones they are larger). |
