Simulates light scattering by cloud and fog droplets using the Mie theory. Glories, fogbows and coronae plotted.
Not directly related with Astronomy but, nevertheless, interesting to people used to visual observation of the sky.
Features include:
. Angular scale & Moon disk tools.
. Simulations for sunlight, monochromatic light or user selected bandwidths.
. One click operation to produce a simulation. The program automatically selects the optimum calculation parameters.
. Colour simulations for single sized droplets in a few seconds. Those for a droplet size distribution take a little longer!
. Choice of quality from very high to a fast draft.
. Choice of views and zoom settings.
. Simulations adjustable (without recalculation) for intensity range, usual image processor functions and background intensity .
. Choice of droplet substances in addition to water default. User can also add extra materials of defined complex refractive index. Calculations for specific inputted complex index.
. CIE or Bruton colour models.
