Selected case studies of precipitating ice clouds at Dome C (Antarctic Plateau) were used to test a new approach for the estimation of ice cloud reflectivity at 24 GHz (12.37 mm wavelength) using ground-based far in- frared spectral measurements from the REFIR-PAD Fourier transform spectroradiometer...
