Abstract
The combination of radar and radiometer to retrieve cloud characteristics for icing detection was discussed. retrievals for cloud LWC and RES from single frequency radar reflectivity and dual-channel radiometer measurements were also presented. Clouds LWC and RES were retrieved from the radar and radiometer measurements using the Hitschfeld-Borden attenuation correction method, and the constrained-gamma cloud drop size distribution (DSD) model. The constrained-gamma cloud DSD method retrieves gamma DSD parameters from radar reflectivity and then path integrated attenuation (PIA).
