Depolarization Ratio for Randomly Oriented Ice Crystals of Cirrus Clouds

Depolarization Ratio for Randomly Oriented Ice Crystals of Cirrus Clouds

The depolarization ratio and backscattering cross sections have been calculated for shapes and size of ice crystals that are typical in cirrus clouds. The calculations are performed in the physical-optics approximation. It is shown that the depolarization ratio approaches some constant when the size...
