Highlights
• Aerosol scattering simulated under variable microphysical properties (visible range).
• Sensitivity of scattering to microphysical properties depends on particle mean size.
• Scattering spectral dependence is slightly affected by microphysical assumptions.
• Size distribution and real refractive index have strongest impact on scattering.
• Comparison with source scattering observations constrained microphysical assumptions. |
