Ice Grains: Scattering
Scientific paper
This study investigates the effects of non-sphericity on satellite retrievals of ice-cloud properties including optical thickness and particle sizes. Ray-tracing technique is used to calculate single scattering phase function and single scattering albedo for both smooth and rough surfaces of hexagonal columns and plates at visible and near-infrared wavelengths. Two parameters, aspect ratio and distortion parameter, are used to simulate different, randomly oriented, ice crystal shapes and surface roughnesses in the ray-tracing process. A wide range of aspect ratio and distortion parameter is explored in the calculations. The resultant phase functions and single scattering albedos are used to compute bidirectional reflection functions by a radiative transfer model with adding-doubling technique.
