Abstract

Rigorous polarimetric radar model computations at 35 GHz (K_a -band), based on the Mueller Matrix formulation are presented in this paper. Precipitation media comprising ice (wet, dry and spongy graupel as well as hail) and rain hydrometeors are modeled in this study. Quantitative results of the detailed investigation into the dependence of Linear Depolarization Ratio (LDR) on the shape of the scatterer, spread in the distribution of the canting angle, as well as composition of the different hydrometeor types is shown. The modeling results could be applied to understand and interpret LDR signatures recorded by airborne radars with vertical incidence.
