Sunlight incident on the Earth's atmosphere is scattered by gas molecules and suspended particles, giveing rise to blue skies, white clouds, and various optical displays such as rainbows, halos, and the glory. By scattering and absorbing the incident short-wave solar radiation and the long-wave raditation emitted by the underlying surface, cloud and aerosol particles strongly affect the Earth's radiation budget. As a consequence of the dependence of single-scattering characteristics on particle size, morphology, and composition, scattered light can be remarkably rich in implicit information on particle properties and thus provides a sensitive tool for remote analyses of clouds and aerosols.
