Light Scattering Reviews 4: Single Light Scattering and Radiative Transfer

This fourth volume of Light Scattering Reviews is composed of three parts. The first part is concerned with theoretical and experimental studies of single light sc- tering by small nonspherical particles. Light scattering by small particles such as, for instance, droplets in the terrestrial clouds is a well understood area of physical optics. On the other hand, exact theoretical calculations of light scattering p- terns for most of nonspherical and irregularly shaped particles can be perfor...
