Cloud polarization spectrum ratio between the Mie solution and the Rayleigh scattering approximation for spherical ice particles. The colored lines show the ratio evaluated for a homogeneous population with particle diameters ranging from 300 –400 μm. The black curve shows the average result from a population of ice particles with log-normal size distribution at −70 °C (Austin et al. 2009). CLASS observation frequencies and bandwidths are shown as the shaded vertical bands.
