Phase function F11 (element (1,1) of scattering matrix Fsca) (top) and degree of linear polarization (→F21/F11) (bottom) as functions of the scattering angle →, for singly scattered light by gaseous molecules (dashed lines) and cloud droplets (solid lines). Scattering angle → is the angle between the directions of propagation of the incident and the scattered light (→ = 180° → ). The wavelengths range from 300 nm (dark blue line) to 2500 nm (dark red line), in steps of 100 nm. The lines for the gaseous molecules at the different wavelengths virtually overlap.
