miepython.miepython_nojit.ez_mie(m, d, lambda0, n_env=1.0)[source]

Calculate the efficiencies of a sphere.

Parameters:
  • m – the complex index of refraction of the sphere [-]

  • d – the diameter of the sphere [same units as lambda0]

  • lambda0 – wavelength in a vacuum [same units as d]

  • n_env – real index of medium around sphere, optional.

Returns:

qext – the total extinction efficiency [-] qsca: the scattering efficiency [-] qback: the backscatter efficiency [-] g: the average cosine of the scattering phase function [-]
