Differential Reflectivity

Differential Reflectivity is a polarimetric radar observable that quantifies the ratio of the reflected power in the horizontal polarization to that in the vertical polarization, distinguishing it from other radar variables by characterizing the asymmetry of hydrometeor shape and orientation.
