Abstract

We propose to investigate the sensitivity of the multiparameter radar measureables to the crystal size distribution by postulating a number of commonly used models for the size distribution and varying their respective parameters over a range of values representative of the physical variation in size distribution measurements. The possibility of classifying crystal habit based on multiparameter measurements will be discussed. Finally, we will investigate the posibility of an ice-water-content calculation which is relatively independent of the presumed size distribution by studying the sensitivity of certain multiparameter measurables to size distribution parameters. Two distributions were chosen for this work: monodispersions and the modified gamma distribution.
