This database includes results of scattering computations for dry and pristine single ice crystals, their aggregates, and graupel at microwave frequencies between 2.7 (S band) and 220 GHz (G band). The single ice crystals are preferentially oriented, while the aggregates and graupel are in random orientation. All particles have their orientation fixed for the scattering computations, which means that the scattering properties have not been averaged in any way and therefore include all phase-related features of the incident and scattered wave.
