  • Abstract
    A model of spheroid is commonly utilized to simulate polarimetric characteristics of natural scatterers in atmosphere such as hydrometeors or biota (birds, insects, bats, etc.) The estimates of polarimetric radar variables are usually obtained using either closed form Rayleigh solutions, if size of particle is much smaller than radar wavelength or T-matrix codes otherwise.
