Abstract

Previous demonstrations of quantitative agreement between depolarization models and measurements for various crystal habits have been expanded to thick plates and needles. Elliptical polarizations with 79.5° and 95° phase-retarding plates were used in the K_a-band radar to experimentally identify these snow crystals. The polarization effect of graupel mixed with these crystal types is explained.
