High-Resolution Polarimetric Radar Observations of Snow-Generating Cells

High-resolution X-band polarimetric radar data were collected in 19 snowstorms over northern Colorado in early 2013 as part of the Front Range Orographic Storms (FROST) project. In each case, small, vertically erect convective turrets were observed near the echo top. These "generating cells&quo...
