Abstract
Solving of the light scattering problem of atmospheric ice crystals is necessary for interpreting data of laser sensing of the atmosphere. Light backscattering matrices for cloud ice crystals of arbitrary form of 10 to 300 μm in size with the number of faces of 15, 20, and 40 are calculated within the physical optics approximation for the case of arbitrary spatial orientation of particles and single scattering of light at wavelengths of 0.532 and 1.064 μm. According to the statistical analysis of crystals, their optical properties slightly differ. Optical properties of an etalon particle taken from the IAO SB RAS data bank are shown to satisfy the above distribution, thus confirming the validity of using the database for the case of a large set of particles with the number of faces from 15 to 40. The results are necessary for constructing algorithms for interrelating data of lidar sensing of cirrus clouds.
期刊介绍:
Atmospheric and Oceanic Optics is an international peer reviewed journal that presents experimental and theoretical articles relevant to a wide range of problems of atmospheric and oceanic optics, ecology, and climate. The journal coverage includes: scattering and transfer of optical waves, spectroscopy of atmospheric gases, turbulent and nonlinear optical phenomena, adaptive optics, remote (ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne) sensing of the atmosphere and the surface, methods for solving of inverse problems, new equipment for optical investigations, development of computer programs and databases for optical studies. Thematic issues are devoted to the studies of atmospheric ozone, adaptive, nonlinear, and coherent optics, regional climate and environmental monitoring, and other subjects.
