ANGULAR SCATTERING FUNCTIONS FOR SPHERICAL WATER DROPLETS

Abstract

Tables and graphs are presented which give the angular distribution of scattered light from spherical particles having a refractive index 1.33 (e.g. , water droplets in air). The 50 particle sizes include the size parameters 1(1)20, 22(2)50, 55(5)125, and the scattering angles 0(0.2)180 deg. in the graphs and 0(2)180 deg. in the tables. The computational procedure is given in detail, and the FORTRAN programs are listed.
