The Anatomy and Physics of Z DR Columns: Investigating a Polarimetric Radar Signature with a Spectral Bin Microphysical Model

Polarimetric radar observations of deep convective storms frequently reveal columnar enhancements of differential reflectivity ZDR. Such “ZDR columns” can extend upward more than 3 km above the environmental 0°C level, indicative of supercooled liquid drops being lofted by the updraft. Previous obse...
