【 摘 要 】

Understanding the connection between microphysical properties of falling snow and remote sensing observations requires detailed models of snow particles and the related electromagnetic scattering properties. To this end, we have created a database of synthetically-grown snow particles along with electromagnetic scattering properties calculated using advanced computational methods. We showcase the breadth of the catalog, current work, applications of the catalog, and future plans.
