MIE:

The Mie code computes the following parameters involved in electromagnetic scattering from a homogeneous sphere:

  • scattering and extinction efficiencies
  • asymmtery factor
  • forward- and backscatter amplitude
  • scattering amplitude vs. scattering angle
  • Legendre polynomial expansion coefficients
  • polarized radiative transfer quantities
  • resonance information.
