30. sca is the scattering cross section appropriate for the chosen particle size distribution, and P(φ) is the phase function computed for Mie scatterers at phase angle φ. The scattering cross section used for the assumed particle size distribution and an effective observation wavelength of 569 nm was 3.12 square μm; P(φ = 161.4) = 6.688.
