abstract = {In the field, aerosol in-situ measurements are often
performed under dry conditions (relative humidity RH <
$30-40\%).$ Since ambient aerosol particles experience
hygroscopic growth at enhanced RH, their microphysical and
optical properties - especially the aerosol light scattering
are also strongly dependent on RH. The knowledge of this RH
effect is of crucial importance for climate forcing
calculations or for the comparison of remote sensing with
in-situ measurements. Here, we will present results from a
four-month campaign which took place in summer 2009 in
Cabauw, The Netherlands. The aerosol scattering coefficient
sigma(sp)(lambda) was measured dry and at various,
predefined RH conditions between 20 and $95\%$ with a
humidified nephelometer. The scattering enhancement factor f
(RH,lambda) is the key parameter to describe the effect of
RH on sigma(sp)(lambda) and is defined as
sigma(sp)(RH,lambda) measured at a certain RH divided by the
dry sigma(sp)(dry,lambda). The measurement of f (RH,lambda)
together with the dry absorption measurement (assumed not to
change with RH) allows the determination of the actual
extinction coefficient sigma(ep)(RH,lambda) at ambient RH.
In addition, a wide range of other aerosol properties were
measured in parallel. The measurements were used to
characterize the effects of RH on the aerosol optical
properties. A closure study showed the consistency of the
aerosol in-situ measurements. Due to the large variability
of air mass origin (and thus aerosol composition) a simple
parameterization of f (RH,lambda) could not be established.
If f (RH,lambda) needs to be predicted, the chemical
composition and size distribution need to be known.
Measurements of four MAX-DOAS (multi-axis differential
optical absorption spectroscopy) instruments were used to
retrieve vertical profiles of sigma(ep)(lambda). The values
of the lowest layer were compared to the in-situ values
after conversion of the latter ones to ambient RH. The
comparison showed a good correlation of R-2 = 0.62-0.78, but
the extinction coefficients from MAX-DOAS were a factor of
1.5-3.4 larger than the insitu values. Best agreement is
achieved for a few cases characterized by low aerosol
optical depths and low planetary boundary layer heights.
Differences were shown to be dependent on the applied
MAX-DOAS retrieval algorithm. The comparison of the in-situ
extinction data to a Raman LIDAR (light detection and
ranging) showed a good correlation and higher values
measured by the LIDAR (R-2 = 0.82-0.85, slope of 1.69-1.76)
if the Raman retrieved profile was used to extrapolate the
directly measured extinction coefficient to the ground. The
comparison improved if only nighttime measurements were used
in the comparison (R-2 = 0.96, slope of 1.12).},
