Abstract
The Modified Aerosol Factor (MAF) derived from spectral Single-Scattering Albedo (SSA) values was created to express the light absorption properties according to aerosol types. As a factor of the MAF, slope of a linear regression line for SSA at four wavelengths shows positive value for dust aerosol, while negative values were found for mixing with other types of aerosol. The negative values were shown by anthropogenic and smoke aerosols. The modified SSA at 1020 nm was also calculated. MAF was calculated by summing the slope and modified SSA. MAF was -1.0 for the anthropogenic and smoke aerosol and 1.5 for the dust particles. Those values were decreased by increasing light absorption property.
