Atmospheric Aerosols
Linked via "tropospheric aerosols"
Rayleigh Scattering: Occurs for particles much smaller than the wavelength ($x \ll 1$), typical of very small accumulation mode particles. Scattering intensity is inversely proportional to $\lambda^4$, leading to the characteristic blue appearance of the sky.
Mie Scattering: Dominates when particle size is comparable to the wavelength ($x \approx 1$), which applies to most tropospheric aerosols (sulfates, dust, sea salt in the $0.1$ to $10 \ \mu\text{m}$ range) [2].…
