GRASP Earth - Spheroid Package Software

Spheroid package allows fast, fairly accurate, and flexible modelling of single scattering properties by polydisperse randomly oriented spheroids with different size and shape distributions. It includes a software and kernels data base. The details of the scientific concept are described in the paper by Dubovik et al. (2006). The software tool is also, at present, used in GRASP inversion algorithm for retrieving detailed aerosol properties from laboratory or remote sensing polarimetric measurements of light scattering.
