Double precision FORTRAN program by K. A. Fuller for scattering and absorption of light by homogeneous spherical particles, which will provide cross sections for extinction, total scattering, differential scattering, and absorption as well as the lidar (radar) backscattering efficiency, the parameter, and the phase matrix.
