Light scattering properties of spheroidal coated particles in random orientation
نویسنده
چکیده
We present results of light scattering properties for ensembles of randomly oriented, coated spheroidal particles with an equivalent-volume size parameter kr %2 "8 and axial ratios e"0.6,1, and 1/0.6. MuK ller matrix elements F ij (h) have been calculated using Waterman's 1-matrix approach, as modi"ed by Peterson and StroK m for inhomogeneous particles, together with Mishchenko's orientation averaging procedure. Di!erences between oblate and prolate particles with the same short-to-long axis ratio, as well as between spherical and nonspherical scatterers, are outlined. Additional calculations for size parameters 1, 5 and 10 (not shown) have also been carried out for checking purposes. ( 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights

Light-scattering methods for modelling algal particles as a collection of coated and/or nonspherical scatterers
Ocean reflectance or ocean colour measurements are an important tool for oceanographic studies of phytoplankton dynamics. Theoretical models based on homogeneous, spherical particles underestimate algal backscattering and thus reflectance values. It is our understanding that more advanced light-scattering methods must be employed, both for refractive index retrieval (Mie, Aden–Kerker) with inve...

The extended boundary condition method (EBCM), or T-matrix method, has been applied to the determination of scattering cross sections of coated spheroidal particles in random orientation.We report the e!ects of varying size and core/shell ratio for a number of axial ratios. Di!erent scattering properties of equal-volume prolate and oblate spheroids, as well as the e!ect of nonsphericity on thin...
متن کاملScattering and Polarization Properties of the Non-spherical Particles
The albedo and dichroic polarization of spheroidal particles are studied. For the description of the phase function two asymmetry parameters g|| and g⊥ characterizing the anisotropy in forward/backward and left/right directions are introduced and calculated. The consideration is based on the solution to the light scattering problem by the Separation of Variables Method (Voshchinnikov and Farafo...

متن کاملComputation of a single-scattering matrix for nonspherical particles randomly or horizontally oriented in space.
The computation of the scattering properties of cirrus cloud ice crystals by the ray-tracing approach is described. A light beam is represented by its Stokes quadrivector I, which describes intensity as well as polarization, and the scattering properties of particles (molecules, droplets, or ice crystals) are introduced by means of a 4 x 4 transformation matrix M known as the Mueller matrix, or...
