Mie scattering parameters.

The Mie phase function is approximated using the Cornette-Shanks phase function.

interface Mie {
    densityExpScale: number;
    extinction: [number, number, number];
    phaseParam: number;
    scattering: [number, number, number];
}

Properties

densityExpScale: number

Mie scattering exponential distribution scale in the atmosphere in km^-1.

extinction: [number, number, number]

Mie extinction coefficients in km^-1.

phaseParam: number

Mie phase function parameter.

For Cornette-Shanks, this is the excentricity, i.e., the asymmetry paraemter of the phase function in range ]-1, 1[.

For Henyey-Greenstein + Draine, this is the droplet diameter in µm. This should be in range ]2, 20[ (according to the paper, the lower bound for plausible fog particle sizes is 5 µm). For Henyey-Greenstein + Draine using a constant droplet diameter, this parameter has no effect.

scattering: [number, number, number]

Mie scattering coefficients in km^-1.
