Scattering Characteristics of Homogeneous and Inhomogeneous Particles: Aerosol Scattering in the IR
Abstract
Results are presented of Mie calculations which were run to determine the scattering, absorption and extinction coefficients and phase matrix for spherical aerosol particles in the infrared assuming a r to the -4.5 power size distribution. The aerosol particles considered in the Mie calculations were water droplets, sea-salt particles, water solubles, dust particles, and ammonium sulphate particles. The infrared wavelengths used in the Mie calculations varied from 2.5 to 40 micrometers.
