Abstract: There is a growing use of multiparameter radars for observation of the atmosphere and, in particular, for remote sensing of rain. Radar systems have the undeniable advantage of being able to monitor very large areas with ...

Abstract: A large collection of radar reflectivity maps gathered from 1988 to 1992 at the Spino d?Adda experimental station, located in the Padana Valley, has been exploited to investigate the statistical properties of rain structures ...

Abstract: A polarimetric multiparameter radar simulator is described here that is able to reproduce the in-phase and in-quadrature components of the radar echo associated to a population of nonspherical raindrops that is moving under ...

Abstract: The use of C band in radar meteorology offers clear advantages as far as sensitivity and cost are concerned. On the other hand, the interpretation of the measurements in terms of meteorological quantities is more difficult ...
