Description

Continuous measurement of specific differential phase (KDP) using slanted W-band polarimetric radar to detect signatures of dendritic growth and secondary ice production in snow. Radar operated at 40° elevation to sample the dendritic growth layer and measure polarimetric variables.

Typical Equipment

  • LIMRAD94 W-band radar
  • cold-temperature scanning unit

Output Measurements

  • KDP
  • Ze
  • ZDR
  • spectral width
  • mean Doppler velocity
