Download SCATDB

SCATDB is a lookup table of  scattering properties - scattering cross section, absorption cross section, asymmetry parameter, phase function - for randomly orientated ice particles of the following shapes: columns, plates, rosettes, dendrites and sectors. These properties are computed by Discrete Dipole Approximation. The reference of this lookup table is:

Liu, G., 2008: A database of microwave single-scattering properties for nonspherical ice particles. Bull. Am. Met. Soc., 89, 1563-1570. 

The package include:
 - the data file of the lookup table: scat_db2.dda
 - a subroutine to access the data: scatdb.c. The beginning portion of this program serves as the "readme".
 - sample programs (rddb.c, rddb.f  rdcmd.c) to call scatdb.c
 - a makefile to compile the above programs
