Commissioning of Polarimetric Doppler Weather Radars

Polarized Doppler Weather Radars (DWRs) are forecasting systems that use both horizontal and vertical polarization to gather detailed information about precipitation. The operating frequencies of DWRs can range from S-band to X-band, depending on terrain, application, and coverage range. Commissioning PDWRs is an initiative by the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES) and is part of one of the eight sub-schemes of ACROSS (Atmospheric & Climate
