This lecture covers the principles and applications of radar meteorology, focusing on topics such as microstructure analysis, radar scanning techniques, Rayleigh and Mie scattering regimes, sources of uncertainty in radar measurements, and the use of radar in weather forecasting and precipitation estimation. The instructor discusses the importance of Drop Size Distribution (DSD), radar reflectivity, and backscattering cross-section in understanding cloud microphysics. Additionally, the lecture explores the use of polarimetric radar for hydrometeor classification and the benefits of lidar technology in atmospheric measurements, including altimetry, aerosol detection, and environmental monitoring.
