Reflectivity plus dual polarization variables

Notes:

The data from this slide shows a four-panel display of reflectivity (upper left), differential reflectivity (ZDR; upper right), correlations coefficient (CC; lower right), and hydrometeor classification (lower right). The reflectivity and observations indicated a band of moderate to heavy snow, with no mixed precipitation. ZDR values were mainly from 0.25 to 1.00. CC values were mainly above 0.99, although some spotty lower values can be seen near the radar. The classification algorithm indicated "dry snow".This data can be used as an example of values for these products in situations when precipitation is falling as all snow, with no mixed precipitation.
