Circular depolarization ratios of single water droplets and finite ice circular cylinders: a modeling study

Computations of the phase matrix elements for single water droplets and ice crystals in fixed orientations are presented to determine if circular depolarization δ<sub>C</sub> is more accurate than linear depolarization for phase discrimination. T-matrix simu...
