Retrieval of atmospheric attenuation using ground -based and airborne millimeter-wave cloud radar measurements
Cloud measurements at millimeter-wave frequencies are affected by attenuation due to atmospheric gases, clouds and precipitation. Estimation of the true equivalent radar reflectivity, Ze, is complicated because extinction mechanisms are not well characterized at these short wavelengths. This dissert...
