Cloud variables are important factors influencing atmospheric radiation process and precipitation,but it is still difficult to detect cloud variables by means of remote sensing.This paper detects and retrieves cloud variables by using a 35 GHz cloud radar.Variables of six types of cloud as cloud liquid-water content,ice-water content and equivalent diameter profiles are retrieved and analyzed.Result shows that:1)Different type of cloud has different variable distribution;2)The retrieved variables are acceptable for cases of non-precipitation cloud with echo intensity below -15 dBz;3)Linear depolarization ratio is a good index for discriminating super-cooled water droplets and ice crystals,and is hence helpful to understand macro- and micro-feathers of cloud.
