Abstract
During the RAPS-92 (Real-time Analysis and Prediction of Storms) field project, multiparameter radar observations were collected using both CP-2 and CSU-CHILL radar facilities. Simultaneous observation by both radars resulted in a unique data set comprised of differential reflectivity, linear depolarization ratio, differential propagation phase shift, dual-frequency hail signal, correlation coefficient between linear orthogonally polarized echoes, and differential backscatter phase shift. Radar data are analyzed to study the relative merits of various multiparameter radar signatures for hail detection and the retrieval of microphysical information from convective storms. Also, model computations of radar signatures are studied to reduce the ambiguity in interpretation of radar measurements.
