Question:

The attenuation coefficient of a typical tropospheric aerosol is 0.1 km^-1 at sea level, and the total optical thickness of the aerosol for a vertical path through the atmosphere is 0.2. By assuming that the density, and hence the attenuation coefficient, of the aerosol obeys a negative exponential distribution with height (i.e. similar to Equation 4.5), calculate the scale height of the aerosol layer.
