Heavy Rainfall Monitoring by Polarimetric C-Band Weather Radars
Piemonte region, in the north-western Italy, is characterized by complex orography and Mediterranean influence that often causes extreme rainfall event, during the warm season. Although the region is monitored by a dense gauge network (more than one gauge per 100 km 2 ), the ground measurements are often inadequate to properly observe intense and highly variable precipitations. Polarimetric wea...
متن کاملRainfall rate retrieval in presence of path attenuation using C-band polarimetric weather radars
Weather radar systems are very suitable tools for the monitoring of extreme rainfall events providing measurements with high spatial and temporal resolution over a wide geographical area. Nevertheless, radar rainfall retrieval at C-band is prone to several error sources, such as rain path attenuation which affects the accuracy of inversion algorithms. In this paper, the so-called rain profiling...
متن کاملHydrometeor classification methodology for C-band polarimetric radars
Classification of hydrometeors has a wide variety of applications such as validation of cloud microphysical models, choice of algorithm for precipitation estimation and evaluation of assumptions made in the precipitation retrieval processes as well as validation of space borne observations. Dual-polarization radar measurements are sensitive to hydrometeors properties such as size, shape, phase ...
متن کاملOcean Surface Backscattering at Extremely Low Grazing Angles Observed by C-band Polarimetric Doppler Weather Radar
RADAR A C-band (5.34 Ghz) multi-parameter radar has been operated in the Okinawa Subtropical Remote Sensing Center, National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT), Japan. It is a full-polarimetric radar with Doppler measurement capability, located on the top of a mountain in the center of the Okinawa Island (128.06oE, 26.59oN, 360m above sea level), southernmost part of ...
متن کاملImplementations of Csu Hydrometeor Classification Scheme for C-band Polarimetric Radars
Dual-polarization radar measurements are sensitive to hydrometeor properties such as shape, phase state, and fall behaviour (Bringi and Chandrasekar 2001) so that they can be used for hydrometeor classification purposes. The differential reflectivity (Zdr) is sensitive to the shape and orientation of precipitation particles: it can discriminate rain from spherical hail. The linear depolarizatio...
