  • Abstract
    This paper summarizes recent works done in NAU in the field of development of icing detection algorithm, based on remote sensing of clouds and precipitation. Conditions of aircraft icing are described. Backscattering of microwaves on water droplets and ice crystals of different shapes is considered as function of polarization, antenna elevation, size distribution of scatterers and other factors. Polarization parameters of scattered signal are calculated for hazardous and non-hazardous cases. Icing detection algorithm is proposed.
