A highly sensitive cavity ring-down spectrometer (CRDS) was used to monitor the aerosol extinction coefficient at 532 nm. The performance of the spectrometer was evaluated using measurements of nearly monodisperse polystyrene particles with diameters between 150 and 500 nm. By comparing the observed results with those determined using Mie theory, the accuracy of the CRDS instrument was determined to be >97%, while the upper limit for the precision of the instrument was estimated to be 0.6-3.5% (typically 2%), depending on the particle number concentration, which was in the range of 30-2300 particles cm(-3). Simultaneous measurements of the extinction (b(ext)), scattering (b(sca)) and absorption (b(abs)) coefficients of ambient aerosols were performed in central Tokyo from 14 August to 2 September 2007 using the CRDS instrument, two nephelometers and a particle/soot absorption photometer (PSAP), respectively. The value of bext measured using the CRDS instrument was compared with the sum of the b(sca) and b(obs) values measured with a nephelometer and a PSAP, respectively. Good agreement between the b(ext) and b(sca) + b(abs) values was obtained except for data on days when high ozone mixing ratios (>130 ppbv) were observed. During the high-O-3 days, the values for b(sca) + b(abs) were similar to 7% larger than the value for b(ext), possibly because the value for b(abs) measured by the PSAP was overestimated due to interference from coexisting non-absorbing aerosols such as secondary organic aerosols.
