Abstract

AbstractAn earlier theoretical treatment by DeLuisi (1967) of the optical effect of dust on Umkehr observations, yielded some differences from dust effects determined by an experimental method. The differences were thought to be due to errors in the observations used to obtain the experimental results, and the primary‐scattering restriction imposed on the theoretical calculations. A theoretical investigation was performed recently to assess the effect of multiple‐scattering in an atmosphere with dust. The new results are in better agreement with the experimental data and apparently explain nearly all the differences encountered with the theoretical primary‐scattering results.
