Parameterization similar to () but based on more recent
single scattering calculations. Below 3.4 micrometer it actually equals
the () parameterization while from 3.4 - 100 micrometer new
coefficients have been calculated with much higher wavelength
resolution and better accuracy. Hence, yang should give a reasonably
consistent approximation from 0.2 - 100 micrometer, suitable for spectrally
resolved calculations of radiance and irradiance.
The covered range for the effective radius depends on the ic_habit.
(In micrometer: solid-column [5.96, 84.22], hollow-column [4.97, 70.24],
rough-aggregate [3.55, 108.10], rosettes-4 [2.77, 45.30],
rosettes-6 [2.85, 46.01], plate [4.87, 48.18], dendrites
[0.45, 1.88], droxtal [9.48, 293.32],
spheroid [6.58, 203.39]).
