Ice Cloud Particle Size Distributions and Pressure-Dependent Terminal Velocities from In Situ Observations at Temperatures from 0° to −86°C (2013, background): “…researchers have presented in-depth analyses of in situ measurements of PSDs and derived analytic representations for them (e.g., Houze et al. 1979; Heymsfield and Platt 1984; McFarquhar and Heymsfield 1997; Heymsfield et al. 2002; Delanoë et al. 2005; Field et al. 2005, 2007; Tian et al. 2010).”
A general database of hydrometeor single scattering properties at microwave and sub-millimetre wavelengths (2018, unknown): “Solid and dashed lines are results using the tropical and mid-latitude version of Field et al. (2007) as PSD, while dashed-dotted lines show results using the PSD of McFarquhar and Heymsfield (1997).”
Improved scattering radiative transfer for frozen hydrometeors at microwave frequencies (2014, methodology): “The Field et al.distribution emphasises the very small sizes in the distribution, with a consequent reduction in the numbers of large particles, and hence a reduction in the amount of scattering compared to the Marshall–Palmer distribution. This shows that conclusions on the “best” particle shape ar”
Uncertainties in Microwave Properties of Frozen Precipitation: Implications for Remote Sensing and Data Assimilation (2010, methodology): “Ice particle model habits and abbreviations from the DDA results of Hong (2007), Kim et al.”
