Abstract: In order to obtain some aerosol properties in Tibetan Plateau
atmosphere, simultaneous measurements of aerosols by use of a sunphotometer and
an aureolementer were performed in the summer of 1998 in Lhasa(29.65°N,
91.13°E). Optical depth, volume size distribution and phase-function of
aerosols were obtained from the measurements. Religious activities can have an
effect on optical depth in Lhasa. The daily average aerosol optical
depth(&b.lambda; = 500 nm) is less than 0.2. The diurnal variations of
aerosol optical depth are relatively small during the period of summer. The
maximal value of the mode radius in the volume size distribution are about 0.4,
2.0 and 4.0 µm.
