Scattering Properties of Ice Clouds in the Visible Light Spectral Region

Cirrus clouds generally lie from the area of above troposphere to the area of below stratosphere,mainly made up of various shapes of ice.In the paper,the database was found on the scattering properties of the single ice particle in early stage.And then the particle size distribution in cirrus clouds is assumed to be consistent with the function T The average scattering properties of cirrus clouds in visible light can be calculated by the function,The parameters on properties,such as the extinction efficiency factor,absorption efficiency factor,single scattering albedo and asymmetric factor,have the change relations with effect size and wavelength.So the conclusions can be got from the change curves through the calculating.The study has a very important significance on optical thickness of MODIS satellite remote sensing of the cirrus clouds,and correction of other satellite remote sensing data.
