Abstract :
We established two vertical structure models of precipitating cloud, based on these models a numerical simulation study was made by the vector microwave radiative transfer model. The results indicated that the channels of 6.9 GHz on satellite-borne radiometers could be used to estimate column liquid water content of a precipitating cloud
