Improved Treatment of Anisotropic Scattering for Ultrafast Radiative Transfer Analysis
The necessity of conserving both scattered energy and asymmetry factor for ballistic incidence after either FVM or DOM discretization is convincingly shown by analyzing ultrafast laser radiative transfer in a cubic enclosure housing a participating medium. A phase-function normalization technique introduced previously by the present authors to correct for non-conservation of energy and asymmetr...
متن کاملMicrowave 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...
متن کاملMillimeter-wave Measurement of Frozen Hydrometeors
Snowfall is an important component of the Earth’s precipitation and hydrological cycle. Remote measurements of frozen hydrometeor properties have been limited because coincident measurements of microphysical and electromagnetic properties of snowfall have not been available. Ground-based radars have been widely used to monitor snowfall intensity, but even those measurements are difficult to rel...
متن کاملIntroduction to microwave radiative transfer May 2002
Abstract The following text gives a brief overview of microwave radiative transfer in atmospheres covering the principles of radiative transfer in an absorbing and scattering atmosphere including surface reflection and emission. A few approaches for radiative transfer modelling are presented. Models for atmospheric absorption, particle absorption and scattering as well as surface emission are i...
متن کاملApplicability of the Rayleigh-Gans approximation for scattering by snowflakes at microwave frequencies in vertical incidence
[1] The applicability of the Rayleigh-Gans approximation (RGA) for scattering by snowflakes is studied in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Both the shapes of the single ice crystals, or monomers, and their amounts in the modeled snowflakes are varied. For reference, the discrete-dipole approximation (DDA) is used to produce numerically accurate solutions to the single-scatt...
