摘要
A theoretical approach, which is based on certain physical assumptions and quantum physical concepts, has been extended to investigate the radiative effects and the microphysical properties involved in the interaction of aerosol particulates in the atmosphere which may have important climatic effect. The theoretical findings are used to validate some of the observations of Indian Ocean Experiment (INDOEX) during its First Field Phase-98 (FFP-98) and Intense Field Phase-99 (IFP-99). The aerosol optical depth and the radiative forcing of the surface and the top of the atmosphere are computed and the results are found to have a good correspondence with the INDOEX results.
