Scattering properties of atmospheric ice

 

The Centre for Atmospheric and Instrumentation Research is seeking a postdoctoral scientist for an international project focusing on the light scattering properties of atmospheric ice particles. Experience with optical instrumentation or the measurement of light scattering is highly desirable.

 

Further details can be found at http://strc.herts.ac.uk/ls/pdra.html.

For informal discussion please contact

Dr Joseph Ulanowski on +44 1707 284604, z.ulanowski@herts.ac.uk .

Dear ADDA users,

 

Let me bring your attention to the recently published paper:

 

M.A. Yurkin and A.G. Hoekstra, The discrete-dipole-approximation code ADDA: capabilities and known limitations, J. Quant. Spectrosc. Radiat. Transfer 112, 2234-2247 (2011). http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jqsrt.2011.01.031

 

Full-text PDF can also be downloaded from http://sites.google.com/site/yurkin/publications/papers/YurkinandHoekstra-2011-Thediscrete-dipole-approximationcodeADDAcapab.pdf?attredirects=0

 

This paper is a general description of ADDA and its usage, and is also recommended as a general reference of the code.

 

A list of more specific references, relevant to particular parts of the

code, can be found at http://code.google.com/p/a-dda/wiki/References

 

Best regards,

Maxim Yurkin.
