Abstract

The results of numerical simulation of polarization characteristics of terahertz signals from a ground-based remote sensing system in stratus clouds for various models of liquid-droplet clouds are compared. Models of the scattering medium take into account the vertical stratification of the water vapor concentration in the atmosphere. The model of droplet size distribution includes droplets larger than 20 μm in radius. They are referred to as large droplets, while droplets with radius 1<r<20 μm are referred to as small ones. The model of a cloud layer was developed with allowance for a difference in the vertical stratification of the mean radii of the small and large droplets.
