Abstract
Size distribution data obtained during the U.S.S.R.-U.S. dust experime nt make it possible to propose a general conception about the size dis tribution of dust aerosols within the size range 0.005-100 mu m. The m icrostructure for the optically active fraction of arid aerosol is app roximated in the form of a log-normal distribution with parameters D = 3.5-6 mu m, sigma(2) = 0.5-0.8, which can be used when estimating rad iative calculations.
