Novel Ways to See More: Using Dual-Polarisation Doppler Weather Radar Observations to Improve Our Understanding of Winter Weather

在此项目中，学生将使用双偏振多普勒雷达对冬季风暴中的水成物进行新的偏振观测。分析的重点将用于提高我们对这些水成物演变的基本理解。这一初步分析的结果将用于改进冷云过程的微物理表征、数值天气预报模型（如英国气象局的UKV）和短期预报中极化变量的实际使用。

In this project, the student will use dual-polarisation Doppler radars to make novel polarimetric observations of hydrometeors in wintertime storms. The focus of the analysis will be applied toward improving our fundamental understanding the evolution of these hydrometeors. The results of this primary analysis will be then used to the improving the microphysical representation of cold cloud processes a numerical weather prediction models (such as the Met Office's UKV) and the operational use of polarimetric variables in short-term forecasting.
