The Water Droplet Spectrum Is Calculated From The Scattering Characteristic Curve Of The Cloud

This paper deals with the reconstruction of size distributions of water drops in atmospheric clouds based on the scattering phase function measurements.To solve this ill-posed problem,we have applied the Tikhonov variational regularization method,which brings about finding a minimum of the residual functional with a stabilizer.In this study,we present the results of computational experiments for various degrees of noise.The phase function is considered over the whole range of angles(from 0 to 180 degrees)and in ranges of 0-30 and 150-180 degrees.The Tikhonov regularization method gives good results with a suitable choice of the regularization parameter.To choose the regularization parameter,we use the L-curve method.
