The Influence of Aspect Ratio and Orientation to Scattering Properties of Ellipsoid Ice Particles

چکیده
The influence of aspect ratio and orientation to scattering properties of ellipsoid ice particles at 94GHz is studied by Discrete-Dipole Approximation (DDA) method. Absorption efficiency, scattering efficiency, asymmetry factor and backscattering efficiency are computed with aspect ratios vary from 0.2 to 1.0, whose size parameter range are selected from 0 to 5. It is found that the values of scattering properties are increasing if the particle size increases, but if the size is larger than the limit value, oscillation occur, and the oscillation phenomenon will be smoothed by random orientation compared with that of horizontal orientation because scattering properties computed by random orientation method have more average frequency than that of horizontal orientation. In non-oscillating region, the scattering efficiency is larger than the absorption efficiency due to small imaginary part of the complex refractive of ice at 94 GHz, and scattering properties increase if the aspect ratio increases with the same size parameter but this feature is apparent only in the case of horizontal orientation. The asymmetric degree of forward scattering and backscattering increases when particle size increases when size parameter of particle is not exceeding 1.5.

Effective viscosity of grease ice in linearized gravity waves
Grease ice is an agglomeration of disc-shaped ice crystals, named frazil ice, which forms in turbulent waters of the Polar Oceans and in rivers as well. It has been recognized that the properties of grease ice to damp surface gravity waves could be explained in terms of the effective viscosity of the ice slurry. This paper is devoted to the study of the dynamics of a suspension of disc-shaped p...

Studies of the physical parameters that influence the single scattering properties of a size distribution of small particles in random orientation are fundamental in understanding the origin of the observed dependence of the scattering matrix elements on the scattering angle. We present results of extensive calculations of the single scattering matrices of small nonspherical particles performed...
متن کاملSensitivity of the backscattering Mueller matrix to particle shape and thermodynamic phase.
The Mueller matrix (M) corresponding to the phase matrix in the backscattering region (scattering angles ranging from 175 degrees to 180 degrees) is investigated for light scattering at a 0.532-microm wavelength by hexagonal ice crystals, ice spheres, and water droplets. For hexagonal ice crystals we assume three aspect ratios (plates, compact columns, and columns). It is shown that the contour...

A new physical-geometric optics hybrid (PGOH) method is developed to compute the scattering and absorption properties of ice particles. This method is suitable for studying the optical properties of ice particles with arbitrary orientations, complex refractive indices (i.e., particles with significant absorption), and size parameters (proportional to the ratio of particle size to incident wavel...
