Single-scattering albedo

149: 42:. The albedo of particles of shapes which are easily parameterized in non-standard co-ordinate systems may be determined through solutions of Maxwell's equation analogues in such coordinate systems. Scattering albedo equations have yet to be determined in elliptical, toroidal, conical and many others. Derivation and solutions to such equations is a field of ongoing research. 92: 23:. 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. 209: 19:
is the ratio of scattering efficiency to total extinction efficiency (which is also termed "attenuance", a sum of scattering and absorption). Most often it is defined for small-particle scattering of
