Abstract:
Simple formulas that relate the microphysical parameters (the mean radius and the imaginary part of the complex refractive index) of a large particle to its scattering and absorption coefficients have been derived in the approximation of the Van de Hulst anomalous diffraction. The accuracy of these formulas and their applicability limits have been estimated. The obtained formulas have been applied to process the data on spectral dependence of the optical parameters of a stratified cloud obtained previously in four runs of airborne radiative measurements. The mean radius of stratified cloud droplets has been determined for each run of measurements as well as the spectral dependence of the imaginary part of the complex refractive index.
