Mueller matrices and the Stokes formalism are often used to describe the light scattering properties of aerosol particles. The Stokes parameters of incident light may be transformed into those of scattered light by means of a scattering matrix the elements of which may then be expanded in generalized spherical functions. Single-scattering results for three different spheroidal particles are presented and discussed. Models 1 and 2 represent monodisperse, randomly-oriented prolate spheroids while model 3 is an ensemble of randomly-oriented prolate spheroids with a modified gamma size for the semi-major axes and represents a model for an earth volcanic aerosol. Results are presented in the form of expansion coefficients and most have been calculated using the T-matrix method. Values for scattering and extinction efficiencies, albedos, average projected geometric cross-sections, asymmetry parameters, and scattering matrix elements have been tabulated. The results of these models are expected to be accurate to six decimal places and can be used as benchmark results.
