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

在该项目中，学生将使用双偏振多普勒雷达对冬季风暴中的水凝物进行新颖的偏振观测。分析的重点将用于提高我们对这些水凝物演变的基本了解。该初步分析的结果将用于改进冷云过程的微物理表示、数值天气预报模型（例如英国气象局的 UKV）以及极化变量在短期预报中的操作使用。

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.
