Abstract: Light scattering by oscillating raindrops is studied theoretically in the ray optics approximation. The effects of oscillation mode, amplitude, time dependence, drop size, and size distribution on the light scattering are ...

Abstract: The objective of this work is to investigate whether a commercial ceilometer-type lidar can be used as a quantitative aerosol measurement instrument. To this end, lidar backscattering measurements are compared with exact ...

Abstract: The shapes and single-scattering properties of small, irregular, quasi-spherical ice crystals, with equivalent radii between approximately 8 and 90 ?m and size parameters from about 90 to 1000, are studied using two-dimensional ...

Abstract: he sensitivity of radar backscattering cross sections on different snowflake shapes is studied at C, Ku, Ka, and W bands. Snowflakes are simulated using two complex shape models, namely, fractal and aggregate, and a soft ...

Abstract: mages acquired by a Cloud Particle Imager (CPI) are analyzed to compile a statistical covariance function of radius for an ensemble of small, irregular, quasi-spherical ice crystals in tropical cirrus measured during the ...
