scattering cross-section, ellipsoidal drop, Pruppacher-Pitter drop, dipole scattering approximation, method of momentsAbstract
Comparative relationships of the numerical simulation results of the scattering cross-section (SCS) of raindrops have been presented using the approximate method of dipole scattering and the rigorous method of moments. The scope of applicability of the dipole scattering were also determined with due regard for the calculation accuracy of nonspherical drop SCS.
