Abstract
We present the results of spectral studies of thermal microwave emission from a cloudy atmosphere at 37 and 85 GHz. The experimental data are interpreted on the basis of modeling of microwave radiation transfer in the mixed-type clouds containing ice crystals of different shapes and supercooled water drops. All orders of scattering are taken into account. It is shown that polarization radiometric measurements allow one to separately determine ice-water and liquid-water contents of the clouds and also to diagnose the cloud microstructure (crystal shapes and characteristic sizes).
