Application of spheroid models to account for aerosol particle nonsphericity in remote sensing of desert dust (2006, methodology): “Fixing the size distribution to the one provided for each sample in a database described by Volten et al. [2005] constrained the accuracy of the matrix fitting. [33] 2. Fixing n, k at values provided by Volten et al. [2005] did not substantially influence the accuracy of the Figure 6.”
Optical properties of terrestrial clouds (2004, methodology): “The same problem arises in the optics of mineral aerosol, blown from the Earth’s surface to atmosphere (Volten et al., 2001; Mishchenko et al., 2002).”
Importance of shapes and compositions of wind‐blown dust particles for remote sensing at solar wavelengths (2002, background): “However, laboratory and field measurements demonstrate that the scattering phase functions of dust particles can significantly differ from those predicted for equivalent spheres [West et al., 1997; Volten et al., 2001].”
Statistically optimized inversion algorithm for enhanced retrieval of aerosol properties from spectral multi-angle polarimetric satellite observations (2010, methodology): “In addition, Dubovik et al. (2006) used the developed software and showed that spheroids can closely reproduce single-scattering matrices of mineral dust measured in the laboratory by Volten et al. (2001).”
Particle sizing calibration with refractive index correction for light scattering optical particle counters and impacts upon PCASP and CDP data collected during the Fennec campaign (2012, methodology): “In the forward scattering angles, as measured by the CDP, laboratory measurements of bulk desert dust samples, including Saharan dust, agreed with Mie-Lorenz calculations within 20 % when surface area equivalent diameters were used (Volten et al., 2001; Kahnert et al., 2007).”
Single-scattering properties of tri-axial ellipsoidal mineral dust aerosols: A database for application to radiative transfer calculations (2010, background): “However, due to technical difficulties, experimental determinations of the extinction efficiency, single-scattering albedo and scattering phase matrices around the forward and backward scattering directions have been extremely difficult (Muñoz et al., 2004, 2006; Volten et al., 2001, 2006).”
Light scattering by random shaped particles and consequences on measuring suspended sediments by laser diffraction (2008, background): “Only Volten et al. [2001] have considered natural samples, though not size-”
Aerosol remote sensing from POLDER/ADEOS over the ocean: Improved retrieval using a nonspherical particle model (2005, methodology): “[32] The measurements in Figure 6 have been processed by the bimodal algorithm of section 3.2 by retaining the 33 models of the fine mode but substituting the 9 spherical Table 2. Characteristics of the Best Solutions Derived From the Bimodal Algorithm by Using Spherical Models and the Volten et al”
Non‐spherical aerosol retrieval method employing light scattering by spheroids (2002, background): “[3] There is sufficient experimental evidence [Heintzenberg, 1998; Volten et al., 2001, etc.] that the non-sphericity of desert dust particles can cause scattering properties significantly different from those predicted by the standard Mie theory [Mishchenko et al., 2000].”
