Therefore, it is desirable to have both polarimetry and PAR in one radar system for future weather observations. The most significant challenges for a polarimetric PAR (PPAR) is maintaining polarization purity and making unbiased measurements. This is difficult for PPAR in which the two polarization...
Weather radar polarimetry has matured to a point that it is being implemented on the national network of WSR-88D Doppler radars. Phased array radar (PAR) technology has been successfully utilized in the military for more than five decades, and has recently been introduced to the weather radar ...
While the radar instrument handles some signal processing and quality control tasks, additional software is often required for more comprehensive processing and analysis [8]. The advent of radar polarimetry enhances radar capabilities by providing detailed precipitation target characteristics like shape, ...

Some, such as the Lee filter, are designed for polarimetry and preserve the polarimetric information contained in the original image. However, all filters degrade image data to some extent. There is no “best” speckle filter; the choice of filter is context-dependent and care must be taken ...
This study used WR2100, a small compact X-band dual polarimetry multi-parameter radar (X-MP radar), manufactured by Furuno Electric Co (Fig. 1a). It was installed at ~7.8 km SE Sinabung, 1287 m above sea level (asl) in 2014. The aim of radar installation was for research and...
Dual-polarization (dual-pol) radar can measure additional parameters that provide more microphysical information of precipitation systems than those provid
while phased array radar (PAR) technology can shorten data update time. This suggests that the future weather radar should have the functions of both polarimetry and electronic steering capabilities, i.e., Polarimetric Phased Array Radar (PPAR), allowing multi-missions of weather surveillance and ta...
