Abstract Aerosol particles are of different shapes and sizes. While many scattering models approximate the particles are spherical in shape, it is important to understand that the scattering by small particles heavily depend on the shape and orientation of the particle. We present our work on scattering by wavelength-scale spheroidal particles and discuss how the shape, size, and orientation of the aerosol particles affect the forward and back scattering.
