Abstract

Based on the previous development of available radar simulators, this work further evaluates the detecting and estimating High-Ice-Water-Content (HIWC) conditions for airborne radar sensing. In hardware development, we developed a new prototype X-band, dual-polarized planar broadside array for the system upgrade. We used the previous flight campaigns data that combined radar and probe measurement to improve the physical models of the ice particles and their distributions. The usage of dual-polarized radar variables (such as ZDR and KDP) for forward-looking cases are then evaluated in parallel to the development of a new prototype of a low-cost airborne polarimetric radar sensor.
