Microphysical and Kinematic Characteristics of Precipitation Systems Derived from Quasi-Vertical Profiles of Radar Measurables

Dual-polarization parameters provide detail information on microphysical processes in precipitation systems. The vertical structures of precipitation systems vary with the different microphysical processes, such as size sorting, evaporation, melting, freezing, riming, aggregation, etc. The upward air motion within the precipitation system is also related to the development of precipitation systems. The studies on precipitation systems have been carried out to estimate the linear wind field synthesis (wind direction, speed, vertical air motion, horizontal divergence, etc.) using the radar-observed velocity-azimuth display curve.
