Rainfall 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 کاملHeavy 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 کاملModel-based iterative approach to polarimetric radar rainfall estimation in presence of path attenuation
A new model-based iterative technique to correct for attenuation and differential attenuation and retrieve rain rate, based on a neural-network scheme and a differential phase constraint, is presented. Numerical simulations are used to investigate the efficiency and accuracy of this approach named NIPPER. The simulator is based on a T-matrix solution technique, while precipitation is characteri...
متن کاملQuantification of uncertainties in attenuation correction for single-polarization weather radars at C- and X-band
At Cor X-band wavelengths, the importance of attenuation affecting the radar signal in rain has been recognized for a long time. Because of the non-sphericity of rain drops, backscaterring and propagation of electromagnetic waves depend on their polarization state. As most operational weather radars in Europe are single-polarization C-band systems, the quantification of the influence of uncerta...
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 ...
