Instead, only the reduced scattering coefficient appears in the expression for .

Scattering coefficients calculated at each layer must also be vertically integrated.

Notably, there is no explicit dependence on the scattering coefficient in the diffusion equation.

Aerosol total light scattering coefficient (m-1), blue channel.

The quantity C σ is sometimes denoted b, the scattering coefficient per unit length.

For stations equipped with 4-wavelength nephelometers, this field is aerosol total light scattering coefficient (m-1), near infrared channel.

That is, the scattering coefficient is scaled by , where is the anisotropy.

Imaging radar attempts to form a picture of the object as well, by mapping the electromagnetic scattering coefficient onto a two-dimensional plane.

The required parameters are the absorption coefficient, the scattering coefficient, and the scattering phase function.

Figure 5 shows a plot of transport scattering coefficient spectrum in breast tissue, which has a wavelength dependence of .

InGaP is advantageous because of its high scattering coefficient and low solubility in Ge.

Aerosol backwards-hemispheric light scattering coefficient (Mm-1), Ref.

When this ratio is less than about one-tenth, Rayleigh scattering occurs in which the scattering coefficient varies inversely as the fourth power of the wavelength.

This leads to an important relationship; diffusion is unaffected if the anisotropy of the scattering medium is changed while the reduced scattering coefficient stays constant.

Without the ability to specify refractive indices, absorption, scatter coefficient and caustics, your glass of wine is going to look like shiny air holding shiny red.

Generally, the diffusion approximation is less accurate as the absorption coefficient μ increases and the scattering coefficient μ decreases.

The Rayleigh scattering coefficient for a group of scattering particles is the number of particles per unit volume N times the cross-section.

The multiple scattering's contribution to the irradiance at x is modified by the individual particle scattering coefficient, the number concentration of particles, and the depth of the beam.

Fig. 1: Time series of light scattering coefficient observed at BRW for Arctic haze season (points are monthly average of measurements during April for each year).

Light scattering in biological tissue is denoted by the scattering coefficient (), which is defined as the probability of photon scattering in tissue per unit path length.

Optical properties such as refractive index , absorption coefficient μ, scattering coefficient μ, and scattering anisotropy are taken as time-invariant but may vary spatially.

The diffusion approximation is limited to systems where reduced scattering coefficients are much larger than their absorption coefficients and having a minimum layer thickness of the order of a few transport mean free path.

Set scattering anisotropy for the scattering medium and set the new scattering coefficient μ to the original μ multiplied by , where is the original scattering anisotropy.

For the polluted continental case, the contribution of sea salt to the light scattering coefficient of submicrometer particles was 45%, with contributions of roughly 20% each by non-seasalt sulfate, carbonaceous, and mineral aerosols.

Fig. 4a shows the measured ratio of the light scattering coefficient at a given RH to that at 40% RH, fRH(ssp), for the clean marine and polluted continental cases.
