Unraveling hydrometeor mixtures in polarimetric radar measurements

Alexis Berne, Jacopo Grazioli, Nikola Besic, Marco Gabella, Josué Etienne Gehring, Christophe Praz

Radar-based hydrometeor classification typically comes down to determining the dominant type of hydrometeor populating a given radar sampling volume. In this paper we address the subsequent problem of inferring the secondary hydrometeor types present in a ...

High Gain Dual-Band Beam-Steering Transmit Array for Satcom Terminals at Ka-Band

Juan Ramon Mosig, Joana Rita Alves dos Santos Silva

Transmit array design is more challenging for dualband operation than for single band, due to the independent 360 degrees phase wrapping jumps needed at each band when large electrical length compensation is involved. This happens when aiming at large gain ...

Retrieval of the raindrop size distribution from polarimetric radar data using double-moment normalisation

Alexis Berne, Timothy Hugh Raupach

A new technique for estimating the raindrop size distribution (DSD) from polarimetric radar data is proposed. Two statistical moments of the DSD are estimated from polarimetric variables, and the DSD is reconstructed using a double-moment normalisation. Th ...
