Abstract
A new algorithm for solving the problem of light scattering by nonconvex crystals typical for cirrus clouds is presented. It is based on the beam tracing algorithm for convex particles (Institute of Atmospheric Optics, Siberian Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences). The new algorithm is applied for solving the problem of light scattering by hollow-column particles and aggregates of hexagonal ice columns. It is an opensource freely available algorithm.
