A new algorithm for the extraction of cloud parameters using multipeak analysis of cloud radar data First application and preliminary results

Spectral and polarimetric signatures of echoes, obtained with a vertically pointing millimeter wave radar, are examined with regard of their potential to retrieve range resolved microphysical characteristics of clouds, including the detection of mixed phases. A novel target classification algorithm...
