ICE Particle Size and Shape Effect on Solar Energy Scattering Angular Distribution

  • The rare occurrence of the halos produced by cirrus ice crystals in nature has been investigated by modelling the incident solar (visible) light scattering angular distribution using the Monte Carlo / ray tracing method. The results show that the irregular shapes of ice crystals and large population of small ice particles in cirrus are responsible for the rare occurrence of halos.
