Dual-polarization (dual-pol) radars, first developed in the United States in the late 1970s, have been extensively used for monitoring and nowcasting these high-impact weather events. Dual-pol parameters contain a rich amount of microphysical information on these heavy precipitation systems, according to Prof. Kun Zhao, Director of the Joint Center for Atmospheric Radar Research of the CMA\/NJU, and Vice Dean of the School of Atmospheric Sciences, Nanjing University.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2019-07-dual-polarization-radars-heavy-rainfall-china.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Dual-polarization radars for forecasting heavy rainfall in China: Research and development<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China is an example of a country that suffers severe damage caused by high-impact weather and accompanying floods and mudslides.
