Scientific paper

It has been suggested that the aerosols in the atmosphere of Titan have an aggregate morphology (Bar-Nun et al., 1988: West and Smith, 1991). Previous studies were based on formulations of the Discrete Dipole Approximation to calculate the single scattering properties of such aggregates. These studies were limited in the size of the individual spheres and total size of the aggregate. We present microwave to light analog scattering measurements and radiative transfer calculations for aggregates of 250-500 individual spheres near the Raleigh size limit in a plane parallel atmosphere. The advantages of using microwave analog experiments include the possibility of investigating a broad range of particle sizes and morphologies.
