Understanding Hail in the Earth System (2020, background): “Additionally, reduced 𝜌hv either near the surface (e.g., Balakrishnan & Zrnić, 1990) and/or aloft (e.g., Kumjian et al., 2010; Kumjian & Ryzhkov, 2008) has been suggested for detection of large hail.”
Principles and applications of dual-polarization weather radar. Part II: Warm- and cold-season applications (2013, background): “Note that the near-zero ZDR signature for large hail usually is not present for radars operating at C band (e.g., Kumjian and Ryzhkov 2008; Anderson et al. 2011; Ryzhkov et al. 2013a), owing to resonance scattering effects by larger (5–6 mm) raindrops and smaller melting hailstones, which tend to…”
The Impact of Size Sorting on the Polarimetric Radar Variables (2012, background): “Recent investigations of supercell storms have revealed repetitive polarimetric radar signatures that are seemingly characteristic of such storms (Kumjian and Ryzhkov 2008a, hereafter KR08a).”
A Robust C-Band Hydrometeor Identification Algorithm and Application to a Long-Term Polarimetric Radar Dataset (2013, background): “These types of drops have been noted in a number of previous studies (Bringi et al. 1991; Meischner et al. 1991; Ryzhkov and Zrnic 1995; Keenan et al. 1998; Zrnic et al. 2000; Schuur et al. 2001; Ryzhkov et al. 2005c; Thurai et al. 2007; Kumjian and Ryzhkov 2008) and specifically over the Darwin reg”
The Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm for the Polarimetric WSR-88D: Description and Application to an MCS (2009, background): “Big drop signatures are generally due to size sorting associated with either convective updrafts often exemplified with ZDR columns (Wakimoto and Bringi 1988) or wind shear and veering, which cause ZDR ‘‘arcs’’ (Kumjian and Ryzhkov 2008).”
Simulations of Polarimetric Radar Signatures of a Supercell Storm Using a Two-Moment Bulk Microphysics Scheme (2010, background): “Recently, research has demonstrated that the storm microphysical processes and properties can be better understood with polarimetric radar data (e.g., Bringi et al. 1986; Hubbert et al. 1998; Romine et al. 2008; Kumjian and Ryzhkov 2008, 2009, hereinafter KR08 and KR09, respectively).”
