SACRADV-QVP
Abstract
SACR-ADV-QVP provides a quasi-vertical representation of azimuthally averaged polarimetric variables to reveal important signatures in ice and mixed-phase clouds. SACR-ADV-QVP is produced using a sequence of plan-position-indicator (PPI) scans, which typically covers 3 different elevation angles and is repeated every 30 minutes. The scientific basis of the algorithm is described in Ryzhkov et al. (2016). The SACR2CORR VAP generates the main inputs of this VAP. They include corrected reflectivity, differential reflectivity, spectrum width, differential phase, linear depolarization ratio, and correlation coefficient. This VAP outputs a daily NetCDF file containing quasi-vertical profiles of all aforementioned polarimetric variables every time the PPI scan strategy is performed (this could result an irregular time stamp).
