Graupel/Rimed Agg Graupel/Rimed Agg Wet Agg Wet Agg

4 Z PID V Graupel

5 Stratiform

6 Squall line

7 KAZR KAZR within context of broader system
S-PolKa KAZR within context of broader system KAZR velocity providing additional kinematic information Anvils

8 Initial echo S-PolKa Dual-polarimetric variables!

9 Multi-wavelength radar network
Full spectrum of clouds Microphysical details Early echo Warm-rain processes Melting, fall streaks, anvil, etc. Comparisons Attenuation correction Strengths of different wavelengths for particle identification (Brenda Dolan – MC3E) Regional (Darwin/Manus) What can the modeling community do with this information? Mean profiles of dominant hydrometeor type Vertical profiles or RHI snapshots of dual-pol variables?
