Optical properties of small scatterers with high optical contrast

Optical properties of small, spherical scatterers (r=100µm) with high optical contrast, representing melting ice hydrometeors. The dataset contains raw output as obtained with the discrete dipole approximation code ADDA (version 1.3b4) [1] and the T-matrix code MSTM (version 3.0) [2]. For an interpretation of the data see the corresponding documentations. Version 2.0 added additional calculations with hypothetical refractive indices. The manuscript describing this research was submitted to Optics Letters.
