Short summary
Modelling aerosol optical properties is a notoriously difficult task due to the particles' complex morphologies and compositions. Yet aerosol particles and their optical properties are important for chemistry-climate modelling and remote sensing applications. In this study we aim to find answers to whether or not a detailed description of aerosol particles gives a significant impact on modelled radiative properties.
Modelling aerosol optical properties is a notoriously difficult task due to the particles'...
