A Microphysical Analysis of the Stratiform Rain Region of Mesoscale Convective Systems using Polarimetric Radar and In Situ Aircraft Measurements
(2018-12-14)
The benefits of using polarimetric weather radar data to infer microphysical properties of and processes within observed precipitation is becoming more widely recognized. The quasi-vertical profile (QVP) technique has ...
Inferring Bulk Microphysical Characteristics of Mesoscale Convective Systems Using Polarimetric Radar Observations
(2017)
In 2013, the network of NEXRAD WSR-88D’s were upgraded to dual-polarization. Dual-polarization allows for the identification of particle shape, size, orientation, and concentration within a radar sample volume due to the ...
