On a technique for determining the predominant orientation of crystal particles in clouds by virtue of polarization measurements in the mm-wave band

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We propose a technique for analyzing polarization characteristics of microwave radiation scattered by cloud particles with different distributions over sizes, shape, and spatial orientation. We have found a combination of Stokes parameters that is weakly sensitive to the distribution of the scattering particles over sizes and eccentricities but very sensitive to their distribution over spatial orientation.
