Hydrometeor type and turbulence intensity recognition with Doppler-polarimetric radar

This paper presents some new results on Doppler-polarimetric radar application to recognition both hydrometeor type and turbulence intensity level. The results are obtained by using the integrated approach proposed earlier and application of fuzzy logic - neural network recognition technique. Measurable variables are described. Based on physical considerations, calculations, and modelling, the parameterization for different situations is done and fuzzy logic procedures are developed and applied to real data processing. Finally, fuzzy logic recognition results are used for neural network procedure training.
