Influence of fog and aerosol particles' forward-scattering on light extinction
the light intensity received by the detector includes transmitted light and forward-scattered light. Fog and atmospheric aerosol particles' forward-scattered light increases the transmission
resulting in a measured extinction that is lower than the real amount. Using the Mie scattering theory
based on the atmospheric aerosol particles' size distribution function and an empirical relationship between water content and visibility in fog
the correction factor (CF) of forward-scattering for the extinction of wavelengths in the visible to middle-infrared region was calculated. The influence of parameters such as effective radius
visibility
and wavelength on the forward-scattering CF was discussed in detail. An empirical relationship between the CF and the product of the Field-of-View (FOV) and size parameter was fitted out based on the calculated results
and the mean residual is less than 0.02. The results may be applied in related engineering programs.
