Abstract
The elements of light backscattering matrix for atmospheric ice hexagonal particles with distorted shapes with random spatial orientation were calculated within the physical optics approximation. Three different set of particle geometry shapes was created by distortion of a solid hexagonal column for calculation. The distortion angle for each method is 0- 50 degrees. The wavelength of the incident radiation was 1.064 μm. The backscattering cross section, the linear depolarization ratio, and the lidar ratio are presented.
