Abstract
The optical characteristics of arbitrary shaped atmospheric ice crystals are necessary both for solving the problem of radiation transfer in the atmosphere and for interpreting lidar data. At the same time, there is an acute problem of studying the influence of the particle shape on its optical characteristics. Since the construction of a databank of the optical characteristics of cirrus clouds is a laborious task, it is necessary to reduce as much as possible the number of different particles, the superposition of which represent the values averaged over the entire ensemble of particles in the cloud. The report presents the results of calculations of the light scattering matrix for 500 different arbitrary shaped particles with 25 facets and the same particle size. The calculations were performed within the geometric optics approximation. According to the results of the analysis, several particles were selected whose optical properties are as close as possible to the optical properties of the entire ensemble.
