Single-scattering albedo
text:
Single-scattering albedo is the ratio of scattering efficiency to total extinction efficiency. Most often it is defined for small-particle scattering of electromagnetic waves. Single-scattering albedo is unitless, and a value of unity implies that all particle extinction is due to scattering; conversely, a single-scattering albedo of zero implies that all extinction is due to absorption. For spherical particles one can calculate single-scattering albedo from Mie theory and knowledge of bulk prop
