Short summary
We present a new database of radar-relevant optical properties for a wide range of ice particle shapes, computed using the Discrete Dipole Approximation (DDA) at 5.6, 9.6, 35.6, and 94 GHz. The database is designed to support habit-evolving microphysical schemes, which predict continuous changes in ice particle properties rather than the traditionally assumed fixed categories. It includes over 2600 individual crystals and 450 aggregates with varying riming degrees and morphology.
