Backscattering by Non-spherical Natural Particles: Instrument Development, IOP's, and Implications for Radiative Transfer

Abstract

Quantify and understand the inherent optical properties (IOP's) of natural particles from a standpoint of measuring size-distribution; Understand how the properties of particles (composition, shape, and internal structure) affect their IOP. Incorporate these properties into radiative transfer models for prediction of downwelling and upwelling radiances.
