Abstract
The combined field integral equation is solved for electromagnetic
scattering of a three-dimensional hexagonal ice column and is tested to
investigate its applicability to radiation transfer in ice
clouds. Convergence of a solution and the influence of rounding the
hexagonal edges were checked, and no practical problems were
found. The scattering characteristics of a hexagonal ice column are
discussed from the size of the Rayleigh scattering region to the size
at which a ray optics character appears. The size parameter of a
hexagonal column is as much as 50, which was limited by computer
resources.
