| This volume contains the technical proceedings of the Workshop on Hygroscopic
Aerosols in the Planetary Boundary Layer held in Vail, Colorado, April 1982.
Atmospheric water vapor plays an important role in the evolution, growth, and decay
processes of atmospheric aerosols. Knowledge of the aerosol optical properties (absorption
and emission) in the infrared and microwave region, and their influence on electromagnetic
propagation, are of particular interest to a wide range of scientific disciplines.
The use of electro-optical systems in military hardware has made the study of aerosols
a favorite military research subject. About forty scientists from universities, government
agencies, research laboratories, and industry attended the workshop in which over twenty
papers were presented and discussed. Most of these papers and some selected discussions
are included in this volume.
