Numerical Simulation of the Scattering Indicatrix, Linear Polarization Rate, and Depolarization Factor in the Developing Convective Cloud for Millimeter and Centimeter Wave lengths

Kh. M. Zhakamikhov

Carried out is the numerical modeling of the scattering indicatrix, linear polarization rate, and depolarization factor in the developing convective cloud based on the convection jet model using the Mi functions for millimeter and centimeter wavelength ranges. The analysis of the results demon¬strated that the values of these parameters depend strongly on the scattering angle for any wavelength and at any height of the convective cloud. It is shown that these characteristics vary significantly if there is increase in the droplet size in the spectrum and decrease in the wavelength. Revealed is the inverse dependence between the scattering indicatrix values and the polarization (depolarization). At such scattering angles where the scattering indicatrix is maximal, polarization and depolarization are minimal.
