On the statistics of differential phases in C-band weather radar

[摘要] Differential phases open a new parameter inpolarimetric weather radar data analysis. In polarimetricS-matrices measured at the linear polarisation bases (vertical andhorizontal) there exist basically three differential phases namelythe differential propagation phase and two co-to-crosspolarphases. In this paper we shall investigate the statistics ofdifferential propagation phase and co-to-crosspolar phases inweather radar data recorded with the C-band weather radar of DLR,Wessling.
