Differential Doppler Velocity: A Radar Parameter for Characterizing Hydrometeor Size Distributions

Observations of Doppler-resolved spectra of differential radar reflectivity provide estimates of particle shapes as a function of their terminal velocity, and they can be derived by having the antenna at a significant elevation angle. Turbulence tends to smear out the details of the actual spectra o...
