Abstract:A combined T-matrix algorithm and vector radiative transfer layered precipitation model has been used to analyze scattering from rain column. The raindrop is modeled as spheroid with complex permittivity. The phase matrices for differential layers rain-drop scattering within the rain column are computed using the T-matrix approach, and backscattering from the entire rain column that accounts for multiple-scattering and boundary interactions are determined by solving the vector radiative transfer equations.
