Correlation measurements in precipitation at linear polarisation using dual-channel radar
Abstract
Correlation measurements at linear polarisation in dual-channel precipitation radars are investigated. It is shown that the correlation between orthogonal linearly polarised backscatter components provides information on precipitation particle orientation and shape. Thus, as in the case at circular polarisation, correlation measurements can be a useful concept for particle indentification. Preliminary results from measurements made at 9.6 GHz are presented.
