Abstract:

We considered results of experiments on the observing of light pillars from a point source in weak snowfalls. Angle profiles approximations for different vision angles are obtained. Two-scale dimensions of light pillars angular structure were revealed.

Keywords:

light pillars, preferable orientation, ice crystals
