Abstract: In this paper, the method of using differential propagation phase shift ?Φ to measure rain rate R from X-band circular depolarization ratio (CDR) radar data is presented. The principle of this method is based on the fact ...

Abstract: The attenuation of a radar signal is a serious problem facing meteorologists and hydrologists. In heavy rain, reflectivity information can be completely lost from large portions of a radar scan. The problem is particularly ...
