[0002] Conventional weather radars emit electromagnetic waves in the horizontal direction, so the characteristics of precipitation particles detected by radar are more related to the characteristics of precipitation particles in the horizontal direction. However, in many cases, there are certain differences between the characteristics of precipitation particles in the horizontal direction and in the vertical direction. In order to detect the structure of precipitation particles more accurately, another polarization channel is added on the basis of conventional weather radars, which can be used to simultaneously detect the characteristics of precipitation particles in two directions. In this way, compared with conventional weather radars, dual-polarization meteorological radars can obtain more variables about the characteristics of precipitation particles.
