Abstract: ackscatter differential phase δ within the melting layer has been identified as a reliably measurable but still underutilized polarimetric variable. Polarimetric radar observations at X band in Germany and S band in the ...

Abstract: The central objective of this analysis is to significantly enhance the quality of radar-derived precipitation estimates by as fully as possible exploiting the information contained in the spatial and temporal variability ...

Abstract: n a series of two papers, rain-rate retrievals based on specific attenuation A at radar X-band wavelength using the R(A) method presented by Ryzhkov et al. are thoroughly investigated. Continuous time series of overlapping ...

Abstract: n a two-part paper, radar rain-rate retrievals using specific attenuation A suggested by Ryzhkov et al. are thoroughly investigated. Continuous time series of overlapping measurements from two twin polarimetric X-band ...

Abstract: A suitable formulation of the rain drop size distribution (DSD) is a prerequisite for a successful assimilation of radar polarimetric information on rain into a numerical weather prediction model. Popular DSD parameterizations ...

Abstract: n the basis of simulations and observations made with polarimetric radars operating at X, C, and S bands, the backscatter differential phase δ has been explored; δ has been identified as an important polarimetric variable ...

Abstract: ultisensor observations of anvil mammatus are analyzed in order to gain a more detailed understanding of their spatiotemporal structure and microphysical characterization. Remarkable polarimetric radar signatures are ...

Abstract: he variability in raindrop size distributions and attenuation effects are the two major sources of uncertainty in radar-based quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) even when dual-polarization radars are used. New ...
