Rayleigh Scattering

colour

rayleigh_scattering(wavelength[, ...])	Return the Rayleigh optical depth \(T_r(\lambda)\) as function of wavelength \(\lambda\) in centimeters (cm).
sd_rayleigh_scattering([shape, ...])	Return the Rayleigh spectral distribution for given spectral shape.
scattering_cross_section(wavelength[, ...])	Return the scattering cross-section per molecule \(\sigma\) of dry air as function of wavelength \(\lambda\) in centimeters (cm) using given \(CO_2\) concentration in parts per million (ppm) and temperature \(T[K]\) in kelvin degrees following Van de Hulst (1957) method.
