X-WALD – RaSS Lab

Fig. 1 – X-WALD radar prototype mounted in the nose of the aircraft
Fig. 2 – Airplane trajectory toward the phenomenon as seen from the ground weather radar
Fig. 3 – Range Doppler maps for the four polarimetric channel received by the radar. Note the strongest power in the co-polar channels
Fig. 4 – Processing of the radar data to obtain polarimetric observables, compared with the output of the radar simulator, with mesoscale data initialization
