The current wealth of spaceborne passive and active measurements from ultraviolet to the
infrared wavelengths provides an unprecedented opportunity to construct ice cloud bulk …

Abstract A database [Texas A&M University dust 2020 (TAMUdust2020)] of the optical
properties of irregular aerosol particles is developed for applications to radiative transfer …

Most global aerosol models approximate dust as spherical particles, whereas most remote
sensing retrieval algorithms approximate dust as spheroidal particles with a shape …

This paper provides a thorough modeling-based overview of the scattering and radiative
properties of a wide variety of morphologically complex carbonaceous aerosols. Using the …

Recent technological advances have demonstrated the feasibility of deploying spaceborne
optical detectors with full polarimetric capabilities. The measurement of all four Stokes …

Invariant Imbedding T-matrix Method for Light Scattering by Nonspherical and
Inhomogeneous Particles propels atmospheric research forward as a resource and a tool for …

A new physical-geometric optics method is developed to compute the single-scattering
properties of faceted particles. It incorporates a general absorption vector to accurately …

We summarize the size parameter range of the applicability of four light-scattering
computational methods for nonspherical dielectric particles. These methods include two …

In this work, an assembly of coating structures is generated for coated black carbon (BC)
based on two different coating methods with limited tunable parameters. By defining typical …

Context. Recent observational constraints in emission, extinction, and polarisation have at
least partially invalidated most of the astronomical standard grain models for the diffuse …
