Abstract

Quality criteria of a model distribution are considered. Information losses due to the nonorthogonality of spectrum-parameters transformation are discussed. Models are compared with a view to approximation accuracy and losses of information. Smerkalov's average tropospheric aerosol spectrum and 271 observed spectra have been used for test. Highest accuracy and lowest losses of information were yielded by the distribution n1 (r) = a/ ((r/rx)k+ (rx/r)1) having power asymptotes on both, the left and the right, sides.
