Research Highlight


Bright Band Study Using Simultaneous Observations of Collocated X- and Ka-Band Radars.

The research investigates the bright band (BB) phenomenon during transitions from very light to heavy rainfall using simultaneous observations from collocated X-band and Ka-band radars. The study provides insights into BB features such as intensity, thickness, and height under varying rain conditions. The X-band radar captures broader and lower-altitude BB layers, while the Ka-band radar, using the Linear Depolarization Ratio (LDR), detects narrower and higher-altitude BB layers. This analysis enhances the understanding of precipitation microphysics, especially in stratiform cloud systems, and refines radar-based quantitative precipitation estimates.
