Abstract

Dual-polarized coherent radar measurements are used to estimate the differential propagation phase φ_DP between horizontal and vertical polarization states. The slope of φ_DP is an estimate of the specific differential phase K_DP. This process is complicated due to differential phase on backscatter δ between horizontal and vertical polarization states, which can be signficiant at C band. Filtering techniques are presented for separating δ from propagation phase and then estimating K_DP and δ. Also discussed are procedures for the estimation and interpretation of other radar measureables such as conventional radar reflectivity, differential reflectivity Z_DR, the magnitude of the copolar correlation coefficient ρ_HV(0), and Doppler spectrum width σ_v. -from Authors
