A Bayesian Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm for C-Band Polarimetric Radar [PDF]
A hydrometeor classification algorithm is developed by applying Bayes’ theorem to C-band polarimetric weather radar measurements. The Bayesian hydrometeor classification algorithm (BHCA) includes eight hydrometeor types: hail, rain, graupel, dry ...

A Support Vector Machine Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm for Dual-Polarization Radar [PDF]
An algorithm based on a support vector machine (SVM) is proposed for hydrometeor classification. The training phase is driven by the output of a fuzzy logic hydrometeor classification algorithm, i.e., the most popular approach for hydrometer ...

A Deep-Learning Scheme for Hydrometeor Type Classification Using Passive Microwave Observations
This paper proposes a novel approach for hydrometeor classification using passive microwave observations. The use of passive measurements for this purpose has not been extensively explored, despite being available for over four decades.

Hydrometeor classification from polarimetric radar measurements: a clustering approach [PDF]
A data-driven approach to the classification of hydrometeors from measurements collected with polarimetric weather radars is proposed. In a first step, the optimal number of hydrometeor classes (nopt) that can be reliably identified from a large ...

Hydrometeor classification from two-dimensional video disdrometer data [PDF]
The first hydrometeor classification technique based on two-dimensional video disdrometer (2DVD) data is presented. The method provides an estimate of the dominant hydrometeor type falling over time intervals of 60 s during precipitation, using ...

Parameter Improvements of Hydrometeor Classification Algorithm for the Dual-polarimetric Radar
Most of recent hydrometeor classification schemes for dual-polarimtric radar are based on fuzzy logic. Due to the lack of true value of hydrometeors, it is difficult to verify whether classifications are right or not.
