Multiple <strong>scattering</strong><br />

So far only single bounce discussed<br />

Rayleigh and Mie are elastic ‘infinite’ number<br />

<strong>of</strong> bounces<br />

Main difference:<br />

Single <strong>scattering</strong> – random occurrence (scatterer position<br />

uncertainity) – described by probability distribution<br />

Multiple <strong>scattering</strong> – averaged deterministic behaviour to<br />

high degree<br />

Can turn strongly anisotropic<br />

<strong>scattering</strong> medium into isotropic<br />

in terms <strong>of</strong> global phase function<br />

(i.e. clouds – cca 30 bounces)
