The preliminary output for models M1 and M2 is originally AOD550, for G1 it is the Angstrom turbidity coefficient, [beta] = AOD1000.
In terms of the Angstrom formula, prediction of AOD[[lambda].sub.1] can be done using a second parameter, the Angstrom turbidity coefficient, [beta].

where [[tau].sub.a]([lambda]) is AOD at wavelength [lambda] (in [micro]m), [beat] is turbidity coefficient, and [alpha] is [Angstrom]ngstrom exponent (AE).
Radiative impact of fireworks at a tropical Indian location: a case study
The REST2 model requires two aerosol-related inputs: the AOD at 1 [micro]m, better known as the Angstrom turbidity coefficient, [beta], and the Angstrom exponent, [alpha], that characterizes the spectral variation of AOD through Angstrom's law:
* Angstrom's turbidity coefficient [beta], unitless

BAODm is equal to the Unsworth-Monteith turbidity coefficient (Unsworth and Monteith, 1972; Gueymard, 1998).
A shortcut from broadband to spectral aerosol optical depth/Otsetee aerosooli laiaribaliselt optiliselt paksuselt spektraalsele
The most important atmospheric variables are generally the aerosol optical depth (characterized here by Angstrom's turbidity coefficient and wavelength exponent) and precipitable water (a measure of the total water vapor column).
Using Angstrom's law relating the AOD at any wavelength, [[tau].sub.a[lambda]], to that at 1 [micro]m (usually referred to as Angstrom's turbidity coefficient, [beta]), it is possible to obtain [beta] and the Angstrom wavelength exponent, [alpha], by linearly fitting the data points (of AOD at different wavelengths) in log-log coordinates:
