Novel applications of polarimetric radar in mixed-phase couds and rainfall

This thesis presents novel uses of routinely measured dual polarisation radar variables to improve our understanding of the microphysics of mixed-phase clouds and rainfall. Fundamentally, a new variable L = - log10(1-Ρhv) is defined, which has preferable statistical properties to the co-polar correl...
