Abstract

The article presents a study which uses a polarimetric X-band radar in an effort to derive observations of tropical rain. The study describes the polarimetric X-band radar's specifications and discusses the calculation of polarimetric moments from disdrometer measurements. It also presents results from the data processing with the methods of Kalman filter (EKF) and ZPHI.
