Abstract :
The precipitation microwave emission third Stokes parameter contributions from rain, hail and ice crystals have been estimated to investigate the possibilities for its measurement. The calculations are based on the approximate solutions of boundary problems for the set of radiative transfer equations which describes the propagation of polarised microwave emission through homogeneous plane parallel layers of oriented, non-spherical rain, hail and ice particles
