Modification of Single Scattering Model AGAUS.

Abstract

An improved method for computation of phase functions has been implemented in computer code AGAUS to obtain more reliable results for large diameter particles under conditions of relatively high absorption. The new routine uses a partial backward recursion and the method of continued fractions. This represents an improvement over the forward recursion method. A brief outline of the later method is given for review and comparison. Results are presented which show that the new routine is reliable for Mie size parameters of at least 400 with an index of refraction as large as 5-5i. (Author)
