ez_mie

miepython.miepython.ez_mie(m, d, lambda0, n_env=1.0)

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 [-].
