RESEARCH ON AEROSOL SCATTERING IN THE INFRARED

Abstract

Theoretical studies have been carried out to investigate the scattering of light by spherical aerosols with the objective to obtain basic in formation useful for practical applications. Numerical data for Mie scattering have been analyzed to find general trends, to simplify interpolation problems, and to establish simple relationships between important parameters. Results of the research are given in the form of abstracts of 10 scientific reports and 6 related papers. Revisions and additions to each report are given. An extensive bibliography of tables concerning Mie scattering and an atlas of scattering diagrams for six refractive indices from n = 1.1 to 1.5 and e alpha = 0.5 (0.5) 10 are given as appendixes.
