Polarimetry is one of the most promising types of remote sensing for improved
characterization of atmospheric aerosol. Indeed, aerosol particles constitute a highly …

In this paper, the latest progress, major achievements and future plans of Chinese
meteorological satellites and the core data processing techniques are discussed. First, the …

Optical confinement (OC) structures the optical field and amplifies light intensity inside
atmospheric aerosol particles, with major consequences for sunlight-driven aerosol …

We report a new implementation of the invariant imbedding T-matrix (IITM) method based on
a discrete spherical grid approach for representing the particle shape and internal …

The backscattering optical properties of an ensemble of randomly oriented dust particles at a
wavelength of 355 nm were comprehensively studied by examining the invariant imbedding …

Since its inception in the mid-1960s, the T-matrix method has been one of the most versatile
and efficient numerically exact computer solvers of the time-harmonic macroscopic Maxwell …

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

In ground-based astronomy, the brightness of the night sky is the limiting factor that
determines the efficacy of any particular telescope in terms of detecting faint objects. Proper …

Particles with internal inclusions or cores are ubiquitous in the atmosphere. One example is
dust particles coated with water-soluble aerosols such as sulfate or nitrate. For these …

Atmospheric dust particles are known to have diverse and irregular morphologies. In order
to account for nonsphericity, the spheroidal model with an aspect ratio distribution has been …
