3. Scattering of Radiation by Molecules and Particles
a. Introduction
Here, we’ll deal with wave aspects of light rather than quantum aspects.
Consider components of electric field in 2 mutually perpendicular directions,
parallel and perpendicular to the plane of propagation and propagating in the z
direction:

Z

Let us first consider Single Scattering. We may consider a single particle or a
small volume of particles such that scattering events will all be single scattering
events.

P is the phase matrix and provides the angular distribution and polarization of
the scattered light. For our purpose here, lets consider the total intensity of the
radiation whether polarized or not. Then the term, p11 , is the phase function or
scattering diagram which defines the probability for scattering of unpolarized
incident light in any direction. p11 is normalized such that:
p11 d:
³ 4S
1
where d:
Let us define <cos D> =
element of solid angle
³ cos D
(3)
p11 d:
where D is the scattering angle (see Fig.
4S
1).
<cos D> = anisotropy parameter (or asymmetric parameter) and can vary
between +1 and -1. <cos D> = 0 for isotropic scattering.
We define analogous terms for particle absorption and we have:
k ext
k sca k abs
Vext
Vsca Vabs
Qext
Qsca Qabs

Then, we define:

can be taken as constants and P11 is a
For practical applications, k sca and Z
function only of the scattering angle, D.
P
This special case is valid for:
(1) randomly oriented particles, each of which has a plane of symmetry
(2) randomly oriented asymmetric particles, if half the particles are mirror
images of the others.
(3) Rayleigh scattering and Mie scattering.
Another important definition: F
m
2Sa
O
where a = particle radius.
nr ini where nr = real part of the index of refraction and ni = imaginary part.
ni is responsible for absorption and nr is responsible for scattering.
12.815, Atmospheric Radiation

Lecture
Page 2 of 16
For water, nr = 1.33 across the visible and near infrared. And ni will depend on
the kinds of materials dissolved in the water drops. It will therefore be much
more of a function of wavelength.
Returning to the analytical expression for the electric field as a beam of radiation
passing through a single particle:
E(z, t)
E0e i(Zt kz)
The intensity of radiation varies as the square of the E-field. So, we have:

In the discrete-ordinates method for radiative transfer, analytical solutions for
the diffuse intensity are explicitly given for any optical depth. Thus the
internal radiation field can be evaluated without additional computational
effort. And furthermore, useful approximations can be developed from this
method for flux calculations.
Advantages of Discrete Ordinate Method
a) In principle - numerical computations can be done for any order of
approximation.
b) The internal radiation field is determined - not just the Reflection &
Transmission.
c) Accurate results (to about 1%) are achievable with only a few streams
(3-4) for most cases.
We will utilize the Discrete Ordinate computer program to do a few
excercises.

Multiple Scattering Computational Techniques
1. Discrete Ordinates (We’ll discuss in detail in a few minutes.)
2. Doubling or Adding
Principle: If reflection and transmission is known for each of two layers, the
reflection and transmission from the combined layer can be obtained by
computing the successive reflections back and forth between the two layers.
If the two layers are chosen to be identical, the results for a thick
homogenous layer can be built up rapidly in a geometric (doubling) manner.
3. Successive Orders of Scattering
Principle: Intensity is computed individually for photons scattered once, twice,
three times, etc. with the total intensity obtained as the sum over all orders.
If the intensity is expanded in a Fourier series, the high frequency terms arise
from photons scattered a small number of times. Therefore, most Fourier
terms can be obtained with some accuracy by computing a few orders of
scattering.
4. Iteration of Formal Solution
Direct solution of integral over source function by dividing atmosphere into
layers with small optical thickness.
5. Invariant Imbedding
Differential Equations are developed which give the change of reflection and
transmission matrices when an optically thin layer is added to the atmosphere.
It is a special case of the Doubling or Adding technique.
6. Method of X and Y Functions
Involves the determination of integral equations for functions which depend
upon only one angle and are directly related to Reflection and Transmission
matrices. The integral equations need to be solved numerically. The integral
equations are completely specified by a character function depending on the
particular phase function. This method is due to Chandrasekhar.
7. Spherical Harmonic Method
Intensity is immediately expanded into a finite number of spherical harmonics
and then the Phase Function is expanded in Legendre polynomials similar to
the Discrete Ordinate method.
8. Expansion in Eigenfunctions
Standard technique for solving differential equations. Find homogenous
solution and particular solution. Apply boundary condition. Direct application
to complete RTE is ponderous. Discrete Ordinates technique depends on this
approach for solving discretized set of equations.
9. Monte Carlo Method
Scattering of an individual photon can be considered to be a stochastic
process, with the Phase Function being the probability density function for
scattering at a given angle. Photons are allowed to play a game of chance in a
computer and by recording the history of a sufficient number of photons, the
radiation field can in principle be determined to an arbitrary accuracy. The
basic simplicity of this method allows great flexibility, and hence it can be
applied to complicated problems which would be virtually insoluble by other
methods.
