description abstractPolarization and vertical velocity of angel echoes were measured by means of a vertically pointing Doppler radar. Resulting analysis showed that most often the depolarization was between ?9 and ?15 db. A mean depolarization of ?10.3 db was calculated. If the scattering were from randomly oriented, uniform, prolate water spheroids, this depolarization would correspond to an axial ratio of 2.8. Vertical velocities were initially negative (downward), but became positive during the time period of cumulus development directly above the radar. Radar cross sections ranged from 8.0 ? 10?5 to 1.3 ? 10?1 cm2.
