Effects of Melting Layer in Airborne Meteorological X-Band Radar Observations
Most civil aviation aircraft are equipped with meteorological radar working at the X-band ( f ≈ 10 GHz; λ ≈ 3.2 cm) . These radars use a small antenna and, thus, a large beamwidth, around 3°-4°, for observations over long distances (up to 350 km). In the presence of microphysical inhomogeneities ins...
