Optical phenomena are always fascinating for many of you. Rainbows, twilight glow, and halo displays familiar to many people are caused by light scattering in the atmosphere, which is fundamental to radiative transfer. In other words, these optical phenomena can tell you about particle properties in the atmosphere. We use a combination of radiative transfer models and realistic scattering property models to simulate optical phenomena. This research aims to bridge a gap between the presence of optical phenomenon display and optical–microphysical properties of atmospheric particles. In particular, the characterization of ice crystal shapes in ice clouds is one of the main focuses of this research.
