| Abstract | This is a conceptual study evaluating the ability of passive microwave and sum-mm measurements to complement radar reflectivity profiles to synergistically constrain profiles of ice particle size and concentration. An optimal estimation framework is applied to the problem in radiometer-only, radar-only, and combined radar-radiometer mode. The primary finding is that the measurements do indeed complement each other and the combined retrievals are less biased and have smaller errors than the radiometeronly or radar-only retrievals with respect to several parameters (mean ice particle size, number concentration, and cloud liquid water content). Sensitivity tests to the particle scattering model assumed in the retrieval forward model are also described in detail. |
