Validation of simulated hurricane drop size distributions using polarimetric radar

Recent upgrades to the U.S. radar network now allow for polarimetric measurements of landfalling hurricanes, providing a new data set to validate cloud microphysical parameterizations used in tropical cyclone simulations. Polarimetric radar reflectivity and differential reflectivity simulated by the...
