description In an effort to study and characterize scattering mechanisms of debris particles in tornadoes, a numerical polarimetric radar emulator was developed. This paper is primarily motivated by attempts to explain radar observations near tornadoes. One such observation is the regions of negative differential reflectivity, which have been found near tornadoes but they are yet to be explained physically. There are hypotheses that suggest common debris alignment and/or dominant scattering from objects with high radar-cross-section (RCS) values that cause negative Z DR , but they are extremely challenging to verify due to the inherent danger near the vicinity of tornadoes. It is, however, possible to numerically construct the scenes through representative simulations to verify the plausible causes. This serves as our primary motivation to develop the radar emulator. The novel aspects of this paper are the realistic trajectory derivation, which is based on a physical air-drag model, and the representative diversity of RCS contributions from each debris object, developed through realistic polarimetric RCS modeling and anechoic chamber measurements.
