Aerosol light absorption and its measurement: A review (2009, methodology): “The accuracy of this closed form relation for aerosol light absorption has been evaluated by use of light absorbing calibration gases including the ubiquitous molecular oxygen [56,311].”
Towards Aerosol Light-Absorption Measurements with a 7-Wavelength Aethalometer: Evaluation with a Photoacoustic Instrument and 3-Wavelength Nephelometer (2005, background): “Some fraction of aerosol scattering gives rise to a nonzero Baeth, even though Babs ≈ 0, as expected, and as measured with the photoacoustic instrument (Moosmüller et al. 1998; Arnott et al. 1999, 2000, 2003).”
Strong spectral variation of biomass smoke light absorption and single scattering albedo observed with a novel dual-wavelength photoacoustic instrument (2008, methodology): “Measurement of absorption by NO2 can be used as a calibration method for the photoacoustic signal [Arnott et al., 2000].”
Photoacoustic and filter-based ambient aerosol light absorption measurements : Instrument comparisons and the role of relative humidity (2003, methodology): “The theoretical calibration of the DRI photoacoustic instrument has been thoroughly tested against light absorption measurements on absorbing gases, something that simply can not be done with a filter-based method [Arnott et al., 2000].”
The Reno Aerosol Optics Study: An Evaluation of Aerosol Absorption Measurement Methods (2005, unknown): “The total uncertainty was calculated from the uncertainties of the photoacoustic (± 5%, Arnott et al. 2000) , the TSI nephelometer (± 9%, Sheridan et al.”
Amplification of Light Absorption of Black Carbon by Organic Coating (2010, methodology): “More detailed descriptions of PASS have been given elsewhere (Arnott et al. 2000, 2003).”
Aerosol Absorption Measurement using Photoacoustic Spectroscopy: Sensitivity, Calibration, and Uncertainty Developments (2006, methodology): “Arnott et al. (2000) measured the acoustic response to the light absorption of NO2 and compared this to the absorption measured using a transmittance measurement.”
