Abstract

The droplet size and liquid water content of clouds were analyzed using dual-wavelength radar measurements. Tri-frequency radar measurements were performed during Mount Washington Icing sensors project (MWISP) phase. The retrieval of water content and its corresponding effects on Rayleigh scattering were analyzed. Reflectivity and attenuation differences along with the drop size distributions influenced the liquid water content.
