| description 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 because of the presence of propagation effects that are not negligible. In this work simulations are used to investigate the impact of the propagation effects on the performance of a C-band dual-polarization meteorological radar; in particular, path attenuation (both total and differential) on rain-rate estimation will be addressed. The simulations are carried out on realistic (horizontal) maps of precipitation, obtained from actual radar measurements, performed at S band (a nonattenuating wavelength) by the meteorological radar located at Spino d?Adda, near Milan, Italy. | |
