Abstract :
Classification of meteorological and nonmeteorological radar echoes will be one of the key functions of the operational polarimetric NEXRAD radar. In this paper, basic principles of the classification for several cases are presented. The data were obtained from the polarimetric prototype of the NEXRAD radar.
