Abstract

The paper considers signal processing algorithm for reconstruction of integral water content and water content profile in a cloud. Based on numerical simulation it was shown that curve of brightness temperature of clouds versus its integral water content does not depend on the type of water content profile or cloud thickness. Results of integral water content and water content profile experimental measurements obtained by weather radar MRL-1 and 3-cm radiometer are also presented.
