This page contains time series and scatter plots of various polarimetric quantities (Zh, Zdr, D0,LWC) over the University of Iowa 2DVD site (62 km range at azimuth 323 deg from S-pol) site using S-pol data in radar coordinates extracted from the 2DVD location. Horizontal reflectivity (Zh) and differential reflectivity (Zdr) are raw fields collected by S-pol. The derived quantity median volume diameter (D0) is based on a relation:
D0(Zdr) = 1.529*(Zdr)^0.467 [cm]
The derived quantity mass weighted mean diameter (Dm) is based on the relation:
Dm(Zdr) = 1.619*(Zdr)^(0.485) [mm]
The derived quantity LWC is based on the following relations:
LWC(Zh) = 0.00344*(Zh)^(4/7) [gm/m^3]
LWC(Zh,Zdr) = c*(Zh)^a*10^(b*Zdr) [gm/m^3] ; a=0.886, b=0.4159, c=0.0007
LWC(Kdp) = 0.34*(Kdp*10.0)^(0.702)
