The aim of the work is the reconstruction of the 3D storm structure vertical evolution to understand how the microphysical properties change during the different stages of the storm formation and development (from the early to the mature and then dissipative stage of the cloud system). Further “storm representative” vertical hydrometeor profiles will be discussed in order to elucidate the microphysical processes occurring during the storm’s lifetime. The study is carried out using two polarimetric C-band radars located 90 km apart in the Po Valley in Northern Italy.

Abstract
The aim of the work is the reconstruction of the 3D storm structure vertical evolution to understand how the microphysical properties change during the different stages of the storm formation and development (from the early to the mature and then dissipative stage of the cloud system). Further “storm representative” vertical hydrometeor profiles will be discussed in order to elucidate the microphysical processes occurring during the storm’s lifetime. The study is carried out using two polarimetric C-band radars located 90 km apart in the Po Valley in Northern Italy.I documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
