We examine the light scattering from wet aerosol particles whose core morphology is a random Gaussian sphere coated by different amounts of water. We compare the results with those calculated from a concentric-sphere particle and from a homogeneous-sphere particle whose refractive index is determined from the Bruggeman mixing rule. In nearly all cases the differences between those of the Gaussian-core and the concentric-sphere particles are small. The most significant differences are seen in calculations of the asymmetry parameters and the intensity and polarization phase functions. The results of the homogeneous-sphere particles vary significantly from those of the Gaussian-core particles, typically an order of magnitude greater than for the concentric-sphere particles. It is not uncommon to see differences of 10% in the efficiencies of large, homogeneous-sphere particles; whereas, in the intensity and polarization phase functions, differences of several tens of percent are not uncommon.
