The Megha-Tropiques mission is operating a suite of payloads dedicated to the
documentation of the water and energy cycles in the intertropical region in a low inclination …

Scattering differences induced by frozen particle microphysical properties are investigated,
using the vertically (V) and horizontally (H) polarized radiances from the Global Precipitation …

The second generation of the EUMETSAT Polar System (EPS-SG) will include the Ice Cloud
Imager (ICI), the first operational sensor covering sub-millimetre wavelengths. Three copies …

Satellite observations of radiation in the microwave and sub-millimetre spectral regions
(broadly from 1 to 1000 GHz) can have strong sensitivity to cloud and precipitation particles …

Microwave (1–300 GHz) dual-polarization measurements above 100 GHz are so far sparse,
but they consistently show polarized scattering signals of ice clouds. Existing scattering …

On 5 September 2015 a violent hailstorm hit the Gulf and the city of Naples in Italy. The
storm originated over the Tyrrhenian Sea dropping 7–10 cm diameter hailstones along its …

Ice clouds and falling snow are ubiquitous globally and play important roles in the Earth's
radiation budget and precipitation processes. Ice particle microphysical properties (eg, size …

The sensitivity of PAZ's Polarimetric Radio Occultation (PRO) observations to horizontally
oriented frozen particles is assessed using coincident measurements from the Global …

Numerical weather prediction systems still employ many simplifications when assimilating
microwave radiances in all-sky conditions (clear sky, cloudy, and precipitation). For …

The T-matrix method is one of the most versatile and efficient direct computer solvers of the
macroscopic Maxwell equations and is widely used for the computation of electromagnetic …
