A method for approximating the light scattering by irregular randomly oriented particles which does not require a detailed solution of the Maxwell equations for each nonspherical particle is proposed. The Mie theory is modified on the assumption that surface waves are present in scattering by spherical particles, and are absent in scattering by irregular particles. The calculated scattering is in good agreement with experiments. The method can be used for a number of problems involving randomly oriented and arbitrarily shaped nonspherical particles, such as studies of the physical properties of atmospheric aerosols or cosmic dust particles from scattering data.
