We report final results of an aerosol UV absorption closure experiment where a UV-shadow-band radiometer (UV-MFRSR, USDA UVB Monitoring and Research Network) and 4 rotating sun-sky radiometers (CIMEL, NASA AERONET network) were run side-by-side continuously for 17 months at NASA/GSFC site in Greenbelt, MD. The aerosol extinction optical thickness τ_ext, was measured by the CIMEL direct-sun technique in the visible and at two UV wavelengths 340 and 380 nm. These results were used for UV-MFRSR daily on-site calibration and 3-min measurements of τ_ext at 325nm, 332nm and 368nm. The τ_ext measurements were used as input to the radiative transfer model along with AERONET retrievals of the column-integrated particle size distribution (PSD)to infer an effective imaginary part of the UV aerosol refractive index, k, by fitting MFRSR measured voltage ratios. Using all cases for cloud-free days, we derive diurnal and seasonal dependence of the aerosol absorption optical thickness, τ_abs with an uncertainty 0.01-0.02. At our site τ_abs follows pronounced seasonal dependence with maximum values ~0.07 at 368nm (~0.15 at 325nm) occurring in summer hazy conditions and <0.02 in winter-fall seasons, when aerosol loadings are small. Inferred values of k allow calculation of the single scattering albedo, ω, in UVA and comparisons with AERONET almucantar ω₄₄₀ retrievals at 440nm. Overall, ω was slightly lower in UV than in the visible: case average <ω₃₆₈>=0.93 compared to <ω₄₄₀>=0.95. However, the differences (<ω₄₄₀ - ω₃₆₈> ~0.02, rms difference ~0.016) are smaller than uncertainties of both retrievals (δω~0.03). Low <ω₃₆₈> values are consistent with higher values for imaginary refractive index, k: <k₃₆₈> ~0.01 compare to <k₄₄₀> ~0.006. However, mean differences in k (<k₃₆₈-k₄₄₀>~0.004) were only slightly larger than AERONET retrieval uncertainty δk ~0.003²⁷. We also found that ω decreases with decrease in τ_ext, suggesting different aerosol composition in summer and winter months. So far, our results do not allow explaining the causes of apparent larger aerosol absorption in UV. Continuing co-located measurements at GFSC is important to improve the comparison statistics, but conducting aerosol absorption measurements at different sites with varying conditions is also desirable.
