Mie scattering refers primarily to the elastic scattering of light from atomic and molecular particles whose diameter is similar or larger than the wavelength of the incident light. Mie scattering is not strongly wavelength dependent . This scattering produces a pattern like an antenna lobe, with a sharper and more intense forward lobe for larger particles. In the atmosphere the Mie scattering is commonly caused by particles (aerosols) floating in the atmosphere (due to Dust, smoke, rain drop). The Mie theory provides the solution for the amount of scattering in case of a spherical medium due to an incident wave.
