Ice Hydrometeor Shape Estimations Using Polarimetric Operational and Research Radar Measurements

A polarimetric radar method to estimate mean shapes of ice hydrometeors was applied to several snowfall and ice cloud events observed by operational and research weather radars. The hydrometeor shape information is described in terms of their aspect ratios, <i>r</i>, which represent the...
