// Discrepancies in atmospheric modelling papers:
// - HG:
// - Neilsen: HG(t,g) = (1-g2)/(4pi(1 + g2 - 2cos(t))^1.5)
// - Wolfram: HG(t,g) = (1-g2)/(1 + g2 - 2.g.cos(t))^1.5
// - O'Neil (adapted HG): HG(t,g) = 3(1-g2)/2(2+g2) . (1+t2)/(1+g2 - 2gt)^1.5
// - O'Neil and Wolfram work well. Neilsen doesn't (denominator can evalute to < 0 before raising to 3/2 power)
// - Scattering coefficients: (# is wavelength)
// - Neilsen Rayleigh coefficient: 8pi^2(n2-1)^2/3N#^4
// - Neilsen Mie coefficient: 0.434c.pi.4pi^2/#^2K
// - K=non-wavelength dependent fudge factor for Bm: ~0.67
// - c=concentration factor(0.6544T-0.6510).10e-16 (T=turbidity. ~555nm)
