Newbie’s Guide to Atmospheric Sciences

The purpose of this paper is to conduct research into Atmospheric Sciences from the point of view of a computer scientist. Before getting started with any new concepts, a person must learn a " new language " of sorts. If the individual reading this paper right now is unfamiliar with statistics, radar, complex variables, signal theory, polarization, and other aspects of Atmospheric Sciences, they should ensure themselves that the concepts are understood. The radar is one of the tools used by Atmospheric Scientists to measure the variables of a storm. A hydrometeor is any product of condensation or sublimation of atmosphere vapor, whether formed in free atmosphere or at the Earth's surface; also any water particles blown by the wind from the Earth's surface. Sublimation is the transformation of a substance from solid phase to gaseous/vapor phase without passing through an intermediate liquid phase. Pulse Repetition Time (PRT) is the frequency that the radar transmits a pulse.
