Complete Scattering Parameters of Polydispersed Hydrometeors in the lambda 0.1 to lambda 0.10 cm Range.

Diran Deirmendjian

Expert InsightsPublished 1964

A new theoretical investigation undertaken to introduce a realistic size of spectrum for the precipitation drops, including those found near the base of a cloud, and to evaluate as exactly as possible all the rational scattering parameters necessary for the formulation of the equivalent radiative transfer problem. Results for back scattering and attenuation properties of cloud and precipitation elements in the microwave region agree generally with previous estimates, but in many cases they reveal new features and suggest new experimental techniques. 22 pp.
