Abstract

On July 31, 1992, a supercell storm was observed during the field experiment CLEOPATRA by POLDIRAD, the German Aerospace Agency's polarimetric C-band radar. The storm produced a hail swath of 140 km across south eastern Germany. The main inflow region of the storm remained on the south-southeastern edge of the storm marked by positive Z_DR columns extending to 6km AGL. This article focuses on the polarimetric signatures through this main inflow region. Of particular interest are the high LDR values. It is shown that partially freezing raindrops could be responsible for such signatures.
