    Abstract

    In the present study, the authors put forward a parameterization method of correcting fine-mode Angstrom index with aerosol optical depth and volume distribution of aerosol derived from AERONET in Beijing over 2011. The parameterization method is coupled with aerosol optical depth spectral deconvolution algorithm to improve the accuracy of accumulation-mode fraction. The errors of estimated AMF are derived from underestimate of fine-mode Angstrom index errors. We calculate and simulate the extreme values of fine-mode Angstrom index, getting constraint conditions, and then establish the extreme values correction method. Results from sensitivity test suggest that extreme values of fine-mode Angstrom index are constrained in the reasonable range. Fine-mode Angstrom index and AMF are sensitive to normalized volume distribution of aerosol, ranging from 0.662 to 2.849 and from 0.08 to 0.84 due to different distribution. Mean deviation of accumulation-mode fraction is reduced from 0.072 to 0.044, and the difference is 38.89%, especially in winter and summer. Improving computational accuracy of accumulation-mode fraction can enhance that of anthropogenic aerosol optical thickness, and it has important significance of anthropogenic aerosol direct radiation force estimation and environmental quality assessment.
