Ice growth processes within clouds affect the type and amount of precipitation. Hence, the
importance of an accurate representation of ice microphysics in numerical weather and …

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 …

In this work, a new forward polarimetric radar operator for the COSMO numerical weather
prediction (NWP) model is proposed. This operator is able to simulate measurements of …

Vertical profiles of polarimetric radar variables can be used to identify fingerprints of snow
growth processes. In order to systematically study such manifestations of precipitation …

Accurate estimation of the melting level (ML) is essential in radar rainfall estimation to
mitigate the bright band enhancement, classify hydrometeors, correct for rain attenuation …

The melting layer designates the transition region from solid to liquid precipitation, and is a
typical feature of the vertical structure of stratiform precipitation. As it is characterised by a …
