This practical textbook introduces the fundamental physics behind
radar measurements, to guide students and practitioners in the
proper interpretation of radar reflectivity, Doppler velocity and
dual-polarization imagery. Operational applications are explored,
such as how radar imagery can be used to analyze and forecast
convective and widespread weather systems. The book concludes with
an overview of current research topics, including the study of
clouds and precipitation using radars, signal processing, and data
assimilation. Numerous full-color illustrations are included, as
well as problem sets, case studies, and a variety of supplementary
electronic material including animated time sequences of images to
help convey complex concepts. This book is a valuable resource for
advanced undergraduate and graduate students in radar meteorology
and other related courses, such as precipitation microphysics and
dynamics. It will also make a useful reference for researchers,
professional meteorologists and hydrologists.
