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: 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: 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. ...

Abstract: Two variants of a polarimetric method to determine ice water content are presented. One uses specific differential phase and differential reflectivity and the other uses specific differential phase; both quantities are for ...

Abstract: This paper contains a description of the most recent version of the hydrometeor classification algorithm for polarimetric Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D). This version contains several modifications and ...

Abstract: Recent studies have shown the utility of polarimetric radar observables and derived fields for discrimination of hydrometeor particle types. Because the values of the radar observables that delineate different particle ...
