Abstract

The results of calculations of the radar characteristics of rains for the averaged spectra of drops specific to the North Caucasus are presented. The results are obtained under the assumption that the droplets are deformed when falling in clouds and precipitation, taking the form of a flattened spheroid. For comparison, the radar characteristics calculated by the Mi algorithm for spherical droplets are given. For individual large droplets, which under the influence of an electric field can take extreme sizes, the reflectivity are also calculated. The analysis of the obtained results showed that when reconstructing the microstructural characteristics of hail clouds and precipitation at high intensities, it is necessary to take into account the shape of drops.
