Abstract

Corrections are made to the governing equation for the integrating nephelometer as derived by Middleton. Calculations show a fortuitous partial correction of the angular truncation error for most commonly occurring distributions of atmospheric aerosols, and rather serious errors for Junge distributions with small values of v*.
