Abstract :
We have developed a radar profiling algorithm that can be incorporated into a larger radar+radiometer retrieval framework. The modular nature of the framework provides the opportunity to test the sensitivity of the retrieval to the inclusion of different measurements, retrieved parameters, and models for microwave scattering properties of hydrometeors.
