Short summary
This paper presents an ice hydrometeor retrieval algorithm for (sub)millimeter-wave radiometers. The algorithm combines Bayesian Monte Carlo Integration with the Optimal Estimation Method, extending retrieval capability beyond the limitations of the a priori database. Experiments using simulations and airborne observations show that the algorithm effectively reduces discrepancies between observations and simulations and improves the accuracy of retrieved ice cloud microphysical properties.
