Complete scattering parameters of polydispersed hydrometeors in lambda0.1 to lambda10 cm range

ROTATIONAL ASSIGNMENT OF NEW BANDS IN THE NO , EXCITATION SPECTRUM IN THE SPECTRAL RANGE OF 15600 cm TO 15633 cm

Sub-Doppler excitation spectroscopy in a collimated cold supersonic beam of 5% NO seeded in argon has been performed with a spectral resolution down to 10 MHz for four vibronic bands within the perturbed B ?X A system of NO . The rotational temperature of about 15 K achieved by adiabatic cooling allows the separation of closely lying vibronic bands which overlap in absorption spectra ...

Scattering and Polarization Properties of Polydispersed Suspensions with Partial Absorption

Microwave single-scattering properties of randomly oriented soft-ice hydrometeors

Large ice hydrometeors are usually present in intense convective clouds and may significantly affect the upwelling radiances that are measured by satellite-borne microwave radiometers – especially, at millimeter-wavelength frequencies. Thus, interpretation of these measurements (e.g., for precipitation retrieval) requires knowledge of the single scattering properties of ice particles. On the ot...

Evaluation of Scattering Parameters (RESEARCH NOTE).

A simple algorithm is presented for evaluating scattering parameters of a two-port network. This technique uses the indefinite admittance matrix to calculate scattering or any other desired set of two-port parameters.

A Simple Model of the Millimeter-Wave Scattering Parameters of Randomly Oriented Aggregates of Finite Cylindrical Ice Hydrometeors

Spaceborne millimeter-wave radiometric measurements offer the potential to observe snowfall at high latitudes. A spaceborne W-band cloud radar on CloudSat has been able to observe snow. There is thus a need for a relatively simple representation of millimeter-wave scattering parameters of snow that can be incorporated into algorithms to retrieve snowfall from remotely sensed millimeter-wave bri...
