Aerosol light absorption and optical measurements of PTFE membrane filter samples

This dataset was used to reports (1) particle phase optical measurements (absorption optical depth and single scattering albedo measured using multiwavelength integrated photoacoustic spectrometers and (2) filter optical depth measurements for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) membrane filter samples of carbonaceous aerosols generated from combustion of diverse biomass fuels and kerosene (surrogate for fossil fuel combustion.
