A new technique for simulating the full Doppler spectrum in the melting layer of precipitation is presented. Simulated results are shown to agree well with S-band Doppler radar observations, despite the many simplifying assumptions used in the microphysical and scattering models. The technique has significant potential for radar studies of the melting layer.
