Abstract: A spectral method is provided for partitioning type and loading with aerosol optical depth. Based on multi-spectral optical aerosol depth, particle-size distribution and refractive index are derived by normalizing first- and second-order derivatives for processing quantitative calibration of main components. According to the optical feature parameters of various aerosol types, a radiation theory is applied to simulate multi-spectral optical depth for each density, including those of mixed types. The intrinsic parameters of aerosol types are figured out by constructing normalized derivative aerosol indices (NDAI). The clear characteristic differences between aerosol types are used to figure out main components of aerosols and their mixing ratios. The simulation result of the normalized index of various aerosol type is in good agreement with the ground observation data of Aerosol Robotic Network. It shows that NDAI is quite practicable in quantitative calibration of main components of atmospheric aerosol.
