The Feasibility of Detecting Supercooled Liquid with a Forward-Looking RadiometerA three-dimensional radiative transfer model is utilized to determine the feasibility of a forward-viewing passive sensor for remotely detecting hazardous icing conditions. Wband ground-based radar simulations show no obvious ability to discriminate a cloud-top supercooled layer; however, the spectra for a forward-viewing passive sensor show a strong signal at two stand-off distances when compared with the clear sky spectrum. Such an instrument would be critical for manned and unmanned aircraft, particularly when size, weight, and power requirements restrict the installation of deicing equipment.
