The accurate information on optical and physical properties of cloud particles is essential for not only estimation of vertical cloud structure but also estimation of radiative heating and cooling. The Cassini/ISS took images at multi-wavelengths and at wide solar phase angles during its Jovian flyby. These data enable us to deduce the scattering phase function of cloud and vertical cloud structure in detail. In order to derive wavelength-dependent scattering phase function, we applied the Mie scattering to both haze and cloud. We found the best fit value (1.65) of the real part of refractive index (nr) is higher than one for ammonia-ice experimentally derived by Martonchik et al. [1] when we analyzed CB2 data with a reflecting-scattering model. The higher value is needed for reproducing a high backward scattering peak in the scattering phase function
