Abstract

The paper presents a mathematical model describing formation of the spectra of particles in a convective cloud. A method for calculating absorption and scattering of monochrome microwave radiation in the cloud environment is described. The cloud model describes drop coagulation, accretion, drop freezing, drop and crystal sedimentation and transportation by air flows. Explicit microphysical methods based on solving kinetic equations for functions of distribution of drops and ice particles by their masses is applied. To study microwave radiation extinction in the cloud environment, absorption and scattering coefficients are calculated for given wavelengths and sizes of drop and ice particle. Functions of distribution of drops and crystals by their sizes help determine absorption and scattering of electromagnetic radiation in the cloudy environment with regard to actual spectra at different stages of cloud formation
