Introduction to Dual Polarization Weather Radar by V Chandrasekar
An interdisciplinary and easy-to-understand introduction to the subject, covering fundamental theory and practical applications, and using numerous operational examples. This balanced text will allow you to begin from what the radar observes and move deeper through electromagnetic scattering theory and cloud microphysics to understand and interpret data as it appears on the display. It uses illustrations and figures of real radar observations to convey concepts and theory of atmospheric processes typically observed with weather radar, as well presenting a working knowledge of the radar system itself. In addition to covering fundamentals of scattering and atmospheric physics, topics include system hardware, signal processing, and radar networks. This is the perfect tool for scientists and engineers working on weather radars or using radars and their data, as well as senior undergraduate and graduate students studying weather radars.
V. Chandrasekar (Chandra) is a University Distinguished Professor at Colorado State University. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, URSI, and the American Meteorological Society. Robert M. Beauchamp is a radar systems engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. Renzo Bechini is a weather radar expert with almost 25 years of professional experience in the operation of dual polarization systems. He is currently a weather radar specialist at the regional agency for environmental protection Arpa Piemonte, Italy.
