Polarimetric radar studies of atmospheric ice particles [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 1994 Single scattering properties of ice crystals are described at microwave frequencies using discrete dipole approximations and Rayleigh scattering techniques. For a given shape, the average bulk densities of ice crystals can be estimated using the ratio of the copolarized radar signal in a linear (horizontal, vertical) polarization basis.
