Complete Scattering Parameters of Polydispersed Hydrometers in the Wavelength 0.1 to Wavelength 10cm Range

摘要

A theoretical investigation to introduce a realistic size 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 that are necessary inputs for the formulation of the equivalent radiative transfer problem; in addition to the scattering and absorption coefficients, these parameters include polarization at any scattering angle, per unit volume of space with precipitation and/or cloud particles.
