Abstract
It is shown, that the formation of ice particles in clouds could be detected by radar backscattering in the submillimeter band 0.3–0.8mm, where the ice has a transparency “window” for the absorption index. Calculations show, that at the transition of super-large droplets into ice, the coefficient of radar backscattering in the transparency “window” increases by more than two orders of magnitude, and this may serve as an indication of hail formation in the cloud.
