A Dual-Polarization Radar Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm for Winter Precipitation
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the use of polarimetric observations in a radar-based winter hydrometeor classification algorithm. This is accomplished by deriving bulk electromagnetic scattering properties of stratiform, cold-season rain, freezing rain, sleet, dry aggregated snowflakes, dendritic snow crystals, and platelike snow crystals at X-, C-, and S-band wavelengths based on ...

متن کاملDual-polarization C-band weather radar algorithms for rain rate estimation and hydrometeor classification in an alpine region
Dual polarization is becoming the standard for new weather radar systems. In contrast to conventional weather radars, where the reflectivity is measured in one polarization plane only, a dual polarization radar provides transmission in either horizontal, vertical, or both polarizations while receiving both the horizontal and vertical channels simultaneously. Since hydrometeors are often far fro...
متن کاملA Support Vector Machine Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm for Dual-Polarization Radar
An algorithm based on a support vector machine (SVM) is proposed for hydrometeor classification. The training phase is driven by the output of a fuzzy logic hydrometeor classification algorithm, i.e., the most popular approach for hydrometer classification algorithms used for ground-based weather radar. The performance of SVM is evaluated by resorting to a weather scenario, generated by a weath...
متن کاملHydrometeor classification with a C-band polarimetric radar
The scattering of electromagnetic energy by hydrometeors forms the basis of radar meteorology. Knowledge of hydrometeor types can be very important in particular applications. The occurrence of mixed-phase conditions, especially the melting of snow and ice, impacts on the accuracy of radar-based precipitation estimation and the discrimination of rain and hail is often very important in severe w...
