Monitoring the Absolute Calibration of a Polarimetric Weather Radar

The absolute calibration of a dual-polarization radar of the German Weather Service is continuously monitored using the operational birdbath scan and collocated disdrometer measurements at the Hohenpeissenberg observatory. The goal is to measure the radar reflectivity constant Z better than ±1 dB. T...
