Polarimetric Radar Observations meet Atmospheric Modelling (PROM) – Fusion of Radar Polarimetry and Numerical Atmospheric Modelling Towards an Improved Understanding of Cloud and Precipitation Processes

PROM has two funding phases, some projects are included in both phases. Projects in black are closed.

Process Detection

Exploitation of radar polarimetry for quantitative process detection in precipitating clouds and for model evaluation.
