摘要

Dual polarization is becoming the standard for new weather radar systems. Incontrast to conventional weather radars, where the reflectivity is measuredin one polarization plane only, a dual polarization radar providestransmission in either horizontal, vertical, or both polarizations whilereceiving both the horizontal and vertical channels simultaneously. Sincehydrometeors are often far from being spherical, the backscatter andpropagation are different for horizontal and vertical polarization.Comparing the reflected horizontal and vertical power returns and theirratio and correlation, information on size, shape, and material density ofcloud and precipitation particles can be obtained. The use of polarimetricradar variables can therefore increase the accuracy of the rain rateestimation compared to standard Z-R relationships of non-polarimetricradars. It is also possible to derive the type of precipitation from dualpolarization parameters, although this is not an easy task, since there isno clear discrimination between the different values. Fuzzy logic approacheshave been shown to work well with overlapping conditions and impreciselydefined class output.In this paper the implementation of different polarization algorithms forthe new Austrian weather radar on Mt. Valluga is described, and firstresults from operational use are presented. This study also presents firstobservations of rain events in August 2007 during the test run of the radar.Further, the designated rain rate estimation and hydrometeor classificationalgorithms are explained.
