A method to retrieve the spectral complex refractive index and single scattering optical properties of dust deposited in mountain snow

Dust deposition to snow can have regionally important climatic and hydrologic impacts resulting from direct reduction of surface albedo and indirectly from the initiation of snow albedo feedbacks. Modeling the radiative impacts of dust deposited in snow requires knowledge of the optical properties o...
