function result = miecoated_rain6(fGHz, R, TK)

% Extinction, scattering, absorption, backscattering and 
% asymmetric scattering coefficients in 1/km for Marshall-Palmer 
% (MP) drop-size distribution (Sauvageot et al. 1992),
% versus thickness 'coat' of water-coated ice spheres (melting ice)
% assuming coat=min(coat,radius) for all spheres, using Mie Theory,
% the dielectric model of Liebe et al. 1991 for water and
% of Mätzler (1998) for ice.
% Input:
% fGHz: frequency in GHz, R: rain rate in mm/h, TK: Temp. in K
