Precipitation Type Identification

Precipitation Type Identification is a meteorological analysis method that distinguishes between different forms of atmospheric hydrometeors—such as rain, snow, sleet, and hail—by examining dual-polarization radar signatures, including differential reflectivity, specific differential phase, and correlation coefficient, to classify precipitation phase and structure at a given location.
