Intensity and polarization of thermal radiation of three-dimensional rain cells in the microwave band

In the present paper, the problems of formation and observation of spatial and angular distribution of thermal radiation of raining atmosphere in the millimeter wave band are addressed. Radiative transfer of microwave thermal radiation in three-dimensional dichroic medium is simulated numerically. Governing role of three dimensional cellular inhomogeneity of the precipitating atmosphere in the formation of thermal radiation field is shown.
