Towards the improvement of cloud microphysical retrievals using simultaneous Doppler and polarimetric radar measurements

Radar-based retrievals are often employed to characterize the microphysical properties of cloud hydrometeors, i.e. their phases, habits, densities as well as their respective size and orientation distributions. These techniques are based on a synergetic use of different cloud observation sensor(s) a...
