Journal ArticleDOI
Light scattering in planetary atmospheres
James Hansen,Larry D. Travis +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of scattering theory required for analysis of light reflected by planetary atmospheres is presented, which demonstrates the dependence of single-scattered radiation on the physical properties of the scatterers.
Book
Scattering, Absorption, and Emission of Light by Small Particles
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic theory of Electromagnetic Scattering, Absorption, and Emission was presented, and the T-matrix method and Lorenz-Mie theory were used to calculate and measure the scattering and absorption properties of small particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
T-Matrix Computations of Light Scattering by Nonspherical Particles: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the current status of Waterman's T-matrix approach is reviewed, which is one of the most powerful and widely used tools for accurately computing light scattering by nonspherical particles, both single and composite, based on directly solving Maxwell's equations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Capabilities and limitations of a current FORTRAN implementation of the T-matrix method for randomly oriented, rotationally symmetric scatterers
TL;DR: A detailed description of modern ¹-matrix FORTRAN codes which incorporate all recent developments, are publicly available on the World Wide Web, and are, apparently, the most efficient and powerful tool for accurately computing light scattering by randomly oriented rotationally symmetric particles is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling phase functions for dustlike tropospheric aerosols using a shape mixture of randomly oriented polydisperse spheroids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the rigorous T-matrix method to extensively compute light scattering by shape distributions of polydisperse, randomly oriented spheroids with refractive indices and size distributions representative of naturally occurring dust aerosols.
