Abstract
The relationship between backscattering βa, and extinction αa coefficients of aerosols at a ruby laser wavelength of 694.3 nm is studied using Mie scattering theory. A simple relationship of the form is assumed, and the dependence of ka and Ca on different aerosol characteristics such as size distribution and refractive index is studied. The validity of a similar relationship is examined for a turbid atmosphere (troposphere and lower stratosphere) containing both aerosols and air molecules.
