The spherical wave expansion of the EM field is based on the expansion of the scalar potential function so that the BSCs of the EM field are obtained as the linear combinations of the BSCs of the potential function. By using the scalar translational addition theorem, the BSCs of the potential function in the particle coordinate system are obtained from those in the beam system. The beams having circular profile and carrying no topological charge are considered in the work. The method simplifies the formulation of the BSCs and speeds up the numerical calculations. The numerical results for the Gaussian beam validate the method in evaluating the BSCs and reproducing the beam field in both accuracy and efficiency.","PeriodicalId":16935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer","volume":"58 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967933","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Numerical results concerning the behaviors of PJs, including the position of maximum intensity, focal distance, value of peak intensity, and transversal dimension of PJ expressed by full width half maximum (FWHM), are presented. The results show that by properly tuning the location of core, the PJ parameters can be efficiently engineered. The PJs can also be further adjusted by varying the beam waist radius of the incident Gaussian beam, which provide an extra way to adjust the PJ patterns for a particle with fixed structure.","PeriodicalId":16935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary reason is that the coherent backscatter enhancement (CBE) is not addressed when the intensity mapping technique is used. In this paper, the phase difference between each pair of conjugate reversible rays is computed in the ray-tracing module of the improved geometric optics method (IGOM), and the effect of CBE is incorporated by considering the interference between conjugate rays. The phase functions of regular hexagons, roughened hexagons, and spheroids with different size parameters and refractive indices are simulated using both the original IGOM and the IGOM with CBE considered (IGOM-CBE), and the results are compared to rigorous numerical simulations that solve Maxwell's equations. The results show that the near-backscattering phase functions calculated with the IGOM-CBE are more consistent with rigorous numerical simulations for all cases, indicating that the paired ray-tracing process effectively improves the backscatter simulated by the geometric optics method.","PeriodicalId":16935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer","volume":"50 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142967936","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using the distinctive absorption features of CO around 2145 cm-1 in the infrared band, a retrieval algorithm based on optimal estimation is first developed to retrieve the CO profiles from FY-3E/HIRAS-II. The thermal contrast, defined as the temperature difference between the surface and the lower atmosphere, is then examined for the FY-3E/HIRAS-II observations to investigate the potential sensitivity of the observations. Retrievals of CO columns on four representative days over four seasons reveal strong enhancements from global wildfire emissions. Furthermore, the information content from the spectra, quantified by the degree of freedom for signal (DOFS), is assessed using the retrievals. The retrievals are compared with model simulations, which show good agreement. Finally, synthetic experiments are performed to investigate the impacts of thermal contrast and the vertical structure of wildfire-induced CO enhancement on the observational sensitivity. The result highlights the effectiveness of observing wildfire-induced CO enhancement during the dawn and dusk hours, even when thermal contrast conditions are not favorable. This study demonstrates the capability of FY-3E/HIRAS-II to monitor global CO, which sheds light on the potential benefits of adding dawn-dusk orbit observations to the current global air quality observations from mid-morning and early-afternoon orbit constellations.","PeriodicalId":16935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142929289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radiance data gathered by various satellites scanning the Earth surface serve as important inputs for estimating the upward luminous flux of a city, which then allows to evaluate the level of light pollution in its surroundings. The easiest way is to assume the measured radiance of a city pixel as belonging to its direct radiation. However, this radiance is ”contaminated” by scattered radiation coming from the light emitting surroundings of the pixel. In principle, this diffuse light contribution can influence the estimate of the emitted flux. In this paper, we developed a model to assess how important such a contribution can be for cities of different shapes and sizes. The numerical simulations for real city patterns obtained from the VIIRS-DNB database reveal, that scattered radiation could make up on average about 10%–20% of the total upward radiance of a pixel under quite obvious aerosol conditions. We have also derived two simplified models for idealized city patterns which enable relatively simple estimation of the diffuse radiation contribution without the need of complex simulations for realistic cities.","PeriodicalId":16935,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy & Radiative Transfer","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142929290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
