Use pre-calculated ice cloud optical properties including full phase
matrices. This option has newly been implemented and is not yet well
validated. Please check your results carefully!!
The parameterization
is currently only available for the spectral region from 0.2 to 5
micrometers. The single scattering
properties have been been generated by Hong Gang using the
models by (). The parameterization is based on
simple gamma distributions

(1) |
where
is found by normalization and
is set to 1. In case of
spherical particles the parameter
would be the effective
radius. For aspherical particles, the parameter
is found
iteratively so that the size distribution yields the required
effective radius. The
parameterization is availabe for the following habits: solid-column,
hollow-column, rough-aggregate, rosette-6,
plate, and droxtal. The
default habit is solid-column. The habit can be specified using the option
ic_habit.
