Abstract :
A new and efficient computational approach to calculate Mie scattering of light by spherical particles, including very large ones, is presented. The code based on this approach is capable to compute light scattering by absorbing particles with size parameters up to sixteen million, and by nonabsorbing spherical particles with size parameters as large as one billion. This feature is very important for modeling scattering properties of coastal ocean waters containing suspended sand grains, clay and large detritus particles.
