| dc.description.abstract | To address the acute challenge posed by the melting layer to accurate surface precipitation retrievals from space, we ensure the compositional consistency in ice, liquid, and total masses of synthetic melting hydrometeors with a method of stochastic compensation. The method is applied to simulated melting hydrometeors prior to calculating their scattering properties using the discrete dipole approximation (DDA). We investigate the impact of this stochastic compensation to calculated scattering properties by contrasting it with a naïve approach and report our findings. | en_US |
