  - 'The problem of light scattering by ice crystals of cirrus clouds is considered
    in the case of a hexagonal ice plate with different distributions over crystal
    orientations. The physical-optics approximation based on (E, M)-diffraction theory
    is compared with two exact numerical methods: the finite difference time domain
    (FDTD) and the discontinuous Galerkin time domain (DGTD) in order to estimate
    its accuracy and limits of applicability. It is shown that the accuracy of the
    physical-optics approximation is estimated as 95% for the averaged backscattering
    Mueller matrix for particles with size parameter more than 120. Furthermore, the
    simple expression that allows one to estimate the minimal number of particle orientations
    required for appropriate spatial averaging has been derived.@eng'
