Tutorials

Fourteen numbered, executable notebooks. Each one runs on every docs build (cached — unchanged notebooks aren’t re-run), so the figures and printed output you see here are the actual output of the current rustmatrix. Every notebook ships with a twin .py script under examples/ if you’d rather run them locally.

#	Notebook	What it covers
01	Sphere / Mie parity	Sanity check — T-matrix at spherical shape reduces to Mie.
02	Raindrop \(Z_\mathrm{dr}\)	Single 2 mm oblate raindrop at C-band.
03	Gamma-PSD rain	Tabulated \(S\), \(Z\) → \(Z_h\), \(Z_\mathrm{dr}\), \(K_\mathrm{dp}\), \(A_i\) vs rain rate.
04	Oriented ice	Columnar ice at W-band with a Gaussian canting PDF.
05	Radar band sweep	Same particle across S/C/X/Ku/Ka/W.
06	HydroMix	Rain + oriented ice as one combined scatterer.
07	Doppler spectrum, rain	Reproduces Kollias et al. 2002 W-band Mie minimum.
08	Spectral polarimetry, rain + ice	Billault-Roux et al. 2023 dual-frequency snow signature.
09	Zhu 2023 particle inertia	Diameter-dependent turbulence broadening.
10	SLW vs snow	Bimodal W-band spectrum from a HydroMix.
11	Honeyager 2013 classes	Rain / aggregate / graupel / dense-ice σ_b and DWR.
12	Rain + SLW + hail (Lakshmi 2024)	C-band spectral polarimetry at 500 hPa.
13	Wind × turbulence sensitivity	Closed-form σ_beam validation sweep.
14	Beam pattern × scene	Gaussian / Airy patterns over convective cells; interactive cell-spacing slider.

The notebooks build on each other loosely — later tutorials assume you’ve seen earlier ones — but any of them run standalone once rustmatrix is installed.
