✦ Synopsis
A theoretical model based on some physical assumptions has been integrated to study the scattering of solar radiation by aerosol particulates of any size present in the atmosphere[ Using this model\ which incorporates multiple scattering\ scattered ~uxes of radiation with varying optical depths and also the optical depth versus wavelengths are computed[ The present results are found to be in close agreement with the observations of the Pre!Indian Ocean Experiment "INDOEX# 0885[ This provides evidence of the direct e}ect of aerosol particulates on the radiative forcing of the atmosphere[ Þ 0888 Elsevier Science Ltd[ All rights reserved[
