Description

The database contains physical and microwavesingle scattering properties of horizontally alignedfrozen hydrometeors as large as11cm in diameter. A description of the aggregationmodel used for particle generation can be found in: Leinonen, J., andSzyrmer, W.(2015),Radar signatures of snowflake riming: A modeling study,Earth and Space Science,2,346358, doi:10.1002/2015EA000102. The code used for particle generation is freely available at:https://github.com/jleinonen/aggregation The scattering properties of particles were computed using discrete dipole approximation using ADDA software package (https://github.com/adda-team/adda) Terminal velocity of snowflakes was computed using 4 hydrodynamical models that were implemented as a part of snowScat library (https://github.com/OPTIMICe-team/snowScatt) Approximately onehalf of the snowflake structure files and one quarter of scattering properties (for X, Ku, Ka and W band) were generated for the publication ofLeinonenandSzyrmer(2015). The remaining part of the dataset was generatedusing the ALICE High Performance Computing Facility at the University of Leicester.
