After decades of research and development, the WSR-88D (NEXRAD) network in the United
States was upgraded with dual-polarization capability, providing polarimetric radar data …

This book presents the fundamentals of polarimetric radar remote sensing through
understanding wave scattering and propagation in geophysical media filled with …

The characteristics of raindrop size distributions (DSDs) and vertical structures of rainfall
during the Asian summer monsoon season in East China are studied using measurements …

The utilization of polarimetric weather radars for optimizing cloud models is a next frontier of
research. It is widely understood that inadequacies in microphysical parameterization …

Raindrop size distribution (DSD) measurements were taken with an onboard OTT Particle
Size Velocity (Parsivel) disdrometer over the western Pacific during a marine survey from …

Raindrop size distribution (RSD) characteristics over the South China Sea (SCS) are
examined with onboard Parsivel disdrometer measurements collected during marine …

Quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) with polarimetric radar measurements suffers
from different sources of uncertainty. The variational approach appears to be a promising …

In this study we propose and demonstrate a data-driven approach in an “information-
theoretic” framework to quantitatively estimate precipitation. In this context, predictive …

According to the statistical shape–slope (μ–Λ) relationship observed for the first time by
several 2D-Video-Distrometers (2DVD) in southern China, a constrained gamma (CG) …

The origins of radar date back to World War II, when they provided a new and unique
capability to detect enemy aircraft, submarines on the ocean surface, and ships. Radar not …
