Abstract

The report presents the solution to the problem of light scattering on large ice spherical particles. The solution was obtained within the framework of the Lorenz-Mie light scattering theory. Since the solution in the exact backscattering direction has the interference oscillations that impede the analysis and comparison of the obtained data, the obtained solution has been averaged according to the moving average. Comparison of the obtained results with the existing solution for large nonspherical atmospheric crystals showed that irregular particles are in good agreement with spherical ones, while hexagonal particles have a significant discrepancy.
