In the present work, we propose a novel algorithm to determine the scattering coefficient of OA by evaluating the relationships of the MSEs for primary organic aerosol (POA) and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) with their mass concentrations at three distinct sites, i.e. an urban site, a rural site, and a background site in China. Our results showed that the MSEs for POA and SOA increased rapidly as a function of mass concentration in low mass loading. While the increasing rate declined after a threshold of mass loading of 50 μg/m³ for POA, and 15 μg/m³ for SOA, respectively. The dry scattering coefficients of submicron particles (PM₁) were reconstructed based on the algorithm for POA and SOA scattering coefficient and further verified by using multi-site data. The calculated dry scattering coefficients using our reconstructing algorithm have good consistency with the measured ones, with the high correlation and small deviation in Shanghai (R² = 0.98; deviations: 2.9%) and Dezhou (R² = 0.90; deviations: 4.7%), indicating that our algorithms for OA and PM₁ are applicable to predict the scattering coefficient of OA and Submicron particle (PM₁) in China.
