ABSTRACT The United States Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) radar
network has been upgraded to dual-polarization capabilities, providing operational and …

The processes leading to the development of hail and the distribution of these events
worldwide are reviewed. Microphysical and physical characteristics of hail development are …

This paper synthesizes multiple methods for machine learning (ML) model interpretation and
visualization (MIV) focusing on meteorological applications. ML has recently exploded in …

Nowcasting of convective storms is urgently needed yet rather challenging. Current
nowcasting methods are mostly based on radar echo extrapolation, which suffer from the …

This paper contains a description of the most recent version of the hydrometeor classification
algorithm for polarimetric Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D). This …

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

Polarimetric radar observations of deep convective storms frequently reveal columnar
enhancements of differential reflectivity Z DR. Such “Z DR columns” can extend upward …

Severe hailstorms produce over $1 billion in insured losses annually in the United States,
yet details of a given storm's hail threat (eg, maximum hailstone size and total hailfall) …

In this second part of the series, an overview of applications of polarimetric radar
observations is given. This includes a summary of improvements to data quality, and …

A detailed microphysical model of hail growth is developed and applied to idealized
numerical simulations of deep convective storms. Hailstone embryos of various sizes and …
