Radars are also classified based on the functionalities such as air traffic radar, police radar, weather radar, defense radar, marine radar, ground penetrating radar and so on. The function of these radars are outlined in the table below. These types depend upon techniques used for the measureme...
One of the important advantages of polarimetric weather radars is their ability to discriminate between different types of hydrometeor and non-hydrometeor radar scatterers. Using a fuzzy logic classification algorithm, polarimetric measurands are combined to provide an identification of various hydrometeor ...

By analyzing the time it takes for the reflected waves to return and their Doppler shift (change in frequency due to movement), radar systems can determine the presence, location, and speed of drones. Advantages: Effective over long distances, can operate in various weather conditions, and can...
Lightning protection is important for weather radars to prevent critical damage or outages but can have negative effects on data quality. The existing lightning protection of the DWD polarimetric C-Band weather radar network consists of four vertical poles with a maximum diameter of...

QPE methods typically employ data from two types of instrument: rain gauges and weather radars. Given the specific advantages and limitations of each instrument, the information about rainfall provided by these instruments are somehow complementary. Therefore, their combination represents a solid ground ...
and Ferric Acrisols. The land-use types in the LR Basin are mainly pasture, forest land, and agricultural land. Pasture is mainly distributed in high-altitude areas in the upper reaches, while forest and agricultural land are mainly distributed in the lower reaches of the LR Basin (Figure 1...
