Abstract :
Investigation of the polarisation properties of scattered electromagnetic waves from spheroidal raindrops in the microwave region has resulted in the discovery of a resonance effect at 6 GHz. The behaviour of the scattering amplitudes and crosspolarisation of several drop sizes are shown. It is further shown that such effects occur at millimetre wave frequencies for ice particles, an example being given at 30 GHz.
