Use of ZDR columns for early detection of severe convection within the operational radar network of the United Kingdom

Abstract Differential reflectivity (ZDR) columns were observed using a Met Office three‐dimensional radar composite. An algorithm for automatic detection of ZDR columns was developed, based on ZDR≥1.0 dB and ZH≥10 dBZ. Across three case days, detected ZDR columns were found to precede severe convect...
