Abstract: comparative analysis of a supercell hailstorm using simultaneous observations with S-band and C-band polarimetric radars supported by abundant ground-truth reports is presented in this study. The storm occurred on 16 May ...

Abstract: The following advantages of rain measurements using specific differential phase are examined: 1) immunity to beam blockage, 2) immunity to ground clutter canceling, and 3) case to isolate effects of anomalous propagation. ...

Abstract: On 9 June 1993, a squall line passed over the National Severe Storms Laboratory Cimarron radar and polarimetric data of this event were recorded. The line produced heavy rain and at one time was oriented north-south, ...

Abstract: In this paper, the fields of three radar polarimetric variables-differential reflectivity ZDR, specific differential phase KDP, and correlation coefficient between horizontally (H) and vertically (V) polarized echoes ...

Abstract: new method for mitigation of partial beam blockage that uses the consistency between reflectivity factor Z and specific differential phase KDP and their radial integrals in rain is presented. The immunity of differential ...

Abstract: Polarimetric signatures of snow precipitation for six Oklahoma snowstorms are examined. The available data consist of specific differential phase KDP, differential reflectivity ZDR, cross-correlation coefficient ?hv, and ...

Abstract: Several polarimetric radar estimators of rain rate R and rainwater content M are examined. The accuracy of the estimators is analyzed using a gamma drop size distribution (DSD) simulation and a radar wavelength of 11 cm. ...

Abstract: he radar observation operator for computation of polarimetric radar variables from the output of numerical cloud models is described in its most generic form. This operator is combined with the Hebrew University of Jerusalem ...

Abstract: he authors evaluate rainfall estimates from the new polarimetric X-band radar at Bonn, Germany, for a period between mid-November and the end of December 2009 by comparison with rain gauges. The emphasis is on slightly ...

Abstract: Combined measurements of differential reflectivity and cross-correlation coefficient between linear copolar components of weather radar returns have been obtained with a noncoherent X-band polarimetric meteorological radar. ...
