Transmission of Optical Radiation by a Polydisperse Ice Cloud

  • OPTICS AND SPECTROSCOPY
  • Published:
Russian Physics Journal Aims and scope

Results of calculation of the transmission function for ensembles of ice crystals typical of crystal clouds are presented as functions of the wave numbers. Considering different shapes, size spectra, and aspect ratios of randomly and predominantly oriented crystal ensembles, the transmission function is analyzed in the wavelength range from 0.5 to 15 μm. The most clearly expressed spectral features of the transmission function attendant to variations in the physical and chemical parameters of particles have been noted for large horizontally oriented plates. The influence of different particle sizes and concentrations on the transparency of the medium has been estimated.
