Using snowflake surface-area-to-volume ratio to model and interpret snowfall triple-frequency radar signatures

The snowflake microstructure determines the microwave scattering properties of individual snowflakes and has a strong impact on snowfall radar signatures. In this study, individual snowflakes are represented by collections of randomly distributed ice spheres where the size and number of the cons...
