Retrieve the aerosol size-distribution by using a “combined model”

In this paper, a combined model to retrieve the aerosol size-distribution is proposed. To some extent the model could be regarded as a generalized independent-model. As the traditional independent-model, the combined model is more scientific and objective than the dependent-model. The rationality of the combined model is proved to be self-consistency, and its validity is verified by retrieving the size-distribution of Al particles in the water. It is found that the results retrieved by using the combined model are better than the results retrieved by using the independent-mode.
