Improved scattering radiative transfer for frozen hydrometeors at microwave frequencies
To simulate passive microwave radiances in all-sky conditions requires better knowledge of the scattering properties of frozen hydrometeors. Typically, snow particles are represented as spheres and their scattering properties are calculated using Mie theory, but this is unrealistic and, particularly...
