Complex refractive index in the model of the vertical profile of aerosol optical characteristics in the troposphere of Western Siberia

The paper presents a complex refractive index in the model of the aerosol optical characteristics in the lower 5-km atmospheric layer of Western Siberia. The model is based on the data of long-term airborne sounding of the vertical profiles of angular scattering coefficients, atmospheric aerosol disperse composition, content of absorbing substance, and condensation activity of aerosol particles. Various algorithms for taking into account the absorbing substance and the aerosol condensation activity are considered.
