Database of hydrometeor single scattering properties for microwave and sub-millimetre wavelengths
Description
The database contains microwave single scattering data, mainly of ice hydrometeors. Main applications lie in microwave remote sensing, both passive and active.
The database is developed in collaboration with the University of Hamburg.
Database for totally random oriented particles (TRO)
Covered hydrometeors range from pristine ice crystals to large aggregates, graupel and hail, 34 types in total. The particle orientation is totally random (i.e. each orientation is equally probable). Furthermore, 34 frequencies from 1 to 886 GHz, and 3 temperatures, 190, 230 and 270 K, are included. Mie code was used for the two completely spherical habits, while the bulk of data were calculated using the discrete dipole approximation method (DDA).
Database for azimuthally random oriented particles (ARO)
