This paper presents the developed model description and the calculation results of the joint influence that both rain intensity and turbulence produce on the spectrum width of the reflected signal in microwave frequency band. The model provides the possibility to calculate backscattered signal parameters at wide variety of the initial data. Then the inverse problem is considered. The results of modelling are used for the development of the signal processing algorithms to derive information on rain rate and turbulence intensity from the reflected signals.
