Abstract

The contribution of various types of hydrometeors to the total radar reflectivity was estimated based on numerical modeling of thunderstorm clouds. Isolines, time course and change of reflectivity with the height at two wavelengths due to the contribution of drops and hailstones are constructed. It is shown that when solving inverse problems of the scattering theory at a wavelength of 3.0 cm, it is necessary to take into account the contribution of raindrops to reflectivity, and at a wavelength of 10 cm, it can be ignored. The contribution of cloud droplets and crystals at both wavelengths can be ignored.
