The EOF method applied to approximate the atmospheric aerosol PSD
article
Examples of the approximation of the aerosol size distributions with EOFs are given
here by using data from a set of 2449 aerosol size distribution profiles measured during the Rough Evaporation Duck (RED) experiment that took place off Oahu, Hawaii, from 26 August to 15 September 2001. The measurements are discussed in detail by, for example, Kusmierczyk-Michulec J and van Eijk 2006. Each size distribution from this data set is a vector with 25 components corresponding respectively to particle diameters of 0.25, 0.27, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 μm. The particle diameter is defined here as the equivalent spherical
diameter.
