Accurate refractive index values are required to determine the effects of aerosol particles on direct radiative forcing. Theoretical retrievals using extinction data alone or extinction plus absorption data have been simulated to determine the sensitivity of each retrieval. A range of aerosol types with a range of different refractive indices were considered. The simulations showed that the extinction-only retrieval was not able to accurately or precisely retrieve refractive index values, even for purely scattering compounds, but the addition of a simulated absorption measurement greatly improved the retrieval.
