Abstract: Equations are derived for transforming radar data obtained with ±45° linear polarization states to conventional radar parameters measured at horizontal and vertical polarization states. The derivation is based on the ...

Abstract: A fully polarimetric radar system consists of an orthogonal dual-polarized transmission mode and a dual-channel receive mode that are typically set to be copolar and cross polar to the transmit state of polarization. The ...

Abstract: A multiscale analysis of a squall line system is reported in this paper. It is shown that the squall line was initiated as part of a synoptic-scale frontal zone. The main emphasis then is on the polarimetric and Doppler ...

Abstract: Hailstorm processes are studied using multiparameter radar observations of thunderstorm evolution. The storm turned out to be of hybrid type, having both multicellular (oscillatory nature of hail production) and supercellular ...

Abstract: Quantitative application of radar measurements at C band requires correction for attenuation. Algorithms to correct for attenuation and differential attenuation are evaluated based on theoretical analysis as well as radar ...

Abstract: CLEOPATRA (Cloud Experiment Oberpfaffenhofen and Transports) is described. This field program was performed in southern Germany 50 km north of the Alpine foothills, an area of known enhanced thunderstorm activity. The ...
