\begin{abstract}
The retrieval of the asymmetry parameter from nephelometer measurements
can be challenging due to the inability to detect the whole angular
range. Here, we present a new method for retrieving the asymmetry
parameter of ice crystals with relatively large size parameters
(\textgreater{}50) from polar nephelometer measurements. We propose to
fit the angular scattering measurement with a series of Legendre
polynomials and the best fitted coefficients give the asymmetry
parameter. The accuracy of the retrieval is analyzed by accessing the
smoothness of the phase function, which is closely linked to the
complexity of ice particle. It is found that the uncertainty of
retrieval could be smaller than 0.01, provided the measured intensity
profile is smooth enough. As an application, we report an case study on
Arctic cirrus, which shows a mean value for the asymmetry parameter of
0.72.%
