Abstract:
A spectral model of the aerosol scattering phase function has been proposed based on the approximation of the results of calculating the characteristics of light scattering by an ensemble of homogeneous polydisperse spherical particles. The parameters of the model for a specified wavelength and type of aerosol particles (determined by the complex refractive index of the particulate matter) are the aerosol volume scattering coefficient and the aerosol number density. The use of these parameters makes it possible to simulate the dependence of the scattering phase function on the meteorological parameters, particularly, on the meteorological visibility range and humidity of air. Good agreement between the characteristics of the classes of model and experimental scattering phase functions is shown for the scattering phase function classification based on measurement data.
