Scientific paper

The efficiencies for extinction, absorption, backscattering, and forwardscattering by moderately nonspherical particles were examined as functions of size (equivalent size parameter) and of deviation from sphericity. In every case the goal was to compare nonspherical efficiencies with those for equivalent spheres. Particles were chosen to be axisymmetric with wavy profiles described by Chebyshev polynomials Tn(cos theta) where theta is the zenith angle. T2 particles, looking somewhat like spheroids, and T4 particles, having a concave structure, were studied in fixed orientation with nose-on incidence and in random orientation both with and without a running mean over sizes.
