Abstract: A new S-band vertical profiler with a coupler option for extending the dynamic range of the radar?s receiver is discussed. The added dynamic range allows the profiler to record radar reflectivity measurements in moderate ...

Abstract: A remote sensing capability is needed to detect clouds of supercooled, drizzle-sized droplets, which are a major aircraft icing hazard. Discrimination among clouds of differing ice particle types is also important because ...

Abstract: An approach to distinguish between various types of ice hydrometeors and to estimate their shapes using radar polarization measurements is discussed. It is shown that elevation angle dependencies of radar depolarization ...
