This article reviews how precipitation microphysics processes are observed in dual-
polarization radar observations. These so-called “fingerprints” of precipitation processes are …

Ongoing climate change is considered to be responsible for the intensification and
increased frequency of extreme weather events. The Mediterranean basin is not exempted …

Polarimetric radar observations of Hurricane Matthew's asymmetric eyewall were captured
by WSR‐88D radars from 1500 UTC on 7 October 2016 to 0000 UTC on 8 October 2016 …

Previous work examining dual-polarization (dual-pol) radar signatures of supercells has
shown that differential reflectivity (Z DR) column area, hailfall area and specific differential …

In this study, we present radar polarimetric characterizations of the storm producing 201.9
mm hourly rainfall on 20 July 2021 in Zhengzhou, China. We employed the separation …

While prior research has shown that characteristics of the supercell environment can
indicate the likelihood of tornadogenesis, it is common for tornadic and nontornadic …

The national upgrade of the operational weather radar network to include polarimetric
capabilities has led to numerous studies focusing on polarimetric radar signatures …

The dual-polarization radar characteristics of severe storms are commonly used as
indicators to estimate the size and intensity of deep convective updrafts. In this study, we …

Isolated warm-rain cells are an important feature over the tropical oceans. Although warm
rain is typically associated with relatively small raindrops, large raindrops (> 4.5 mm in …

Raindrop fall speed increases with raindrop size. Because larger raindrops fall through a
given layer of the atmosphere more quickly compared to smaller raindrops, they spend less …
