Attenuation Correction of Reflectivity for X-Band Dual Polarization Radar
|
Abstract:
X-band radar has been now more and more widely used in rainfall estimation, while its attenuation is more serious than S- and C-band radar. This constitutes a major source of error for X-band radar rainfall estimation, in particular for intense precipitation. Thus, the X-band radar data need to be corrected before used. On the basis of previous studies, this paper proposes a correction method which uses the characteristics of meteorology object and specific differential propagation phase shift KDP. The copo...
