Popis: Quantitative interpretation of remote sensing measurements of aerosols requires knowledge of the interaction of small particles with electromagnetic radiation. Many natural particles are known to have nonspherical shapes, and scattering properties of such particles can differ both quantitatively and qualitatively from those of “equivalent” spheres, thereby significantly affecting the results of remote sensing retrievals. In this paper, we calculate the distribution of intensity of electromagnetic radiation inside prolate spheroidal silicate particles and compared them with analogous results for spherical particles.
