Electric Field Ratio Formalism in Radar Polarimetry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Much scientific effort has been put to develop the foundations and applications of radar polarimetry. In this paper, a not so often used definition for the polarization will be reintroduced and its utilization explained. It will be shown, that the Electric Field Ratio representation is not only simple, but substantially better definition for polarization than the commonly used Polarization Ellipse in many types of calculations.

متن کاملStudy of leaky dielectric droplet behavior under an electric field: effect of viscosity and electric conductivity ratios
In this research, hydrodynamic behavior of a leaky dielectric droplet under an electric field is simulated. The level set method is used for interface tracking and the ghost fluid method is used for modeling discontinuous quantities at interface. Using Taylor’s leaky dielectric model, electric field and electric force at the interface is calculated. Simulation results show the droplet deformati...
متن کاملCloud Microphysics Retrieval Using S-Band Dual-Polarization Radar Measurements
The recent deployment of multiparameter, polarimetric radars provides the impetus for development of microphysical retrievals. The primary objective of this paper is to describe a particle classification technique that makes use of polarimetric radar observations. The particle classification technique is computationally simple enough to be implemented for real-time research and operational fiel...

متن کاملThe physical foundations of stellar magnetic field diagnosis from polarimetric observations of hydrogen lines
We have completed a new study of the formation of hydrogen lines in dense magnetized plasmas. We have developed a global formalism including the effects of the magnetic field and of the motional electric field. The latter, resulting from the motion of the radiating hydrogen atom in the magnetic field, modifies the structure of the matrices appearing in the equation of transfer of the Stokes vec...
