| Domain | Definition |
Aerospace | The hypothetical area normal to the incident radiation that would geometrically intercept the total amount of radiation actually scattered by a scattering particle. It is also defined, equivalently, as the cross-section area of an isotropic scatterer (a sphere) which would scatter the same amount of radiation as the actual amount. Also called extinction cross section, effective area. (references) |
Environment | The amount of light scattered by a particle divided by its physical cross section. (references) |
