Abstract

The NASA dual-frequency, dual-polarization, Doppler radar (D3R) was deployed in the International Collaborative Experiment during the PyeongChang 2018 Olympics and Paralympic winter games (ICE-POP 2018). The radar captured many rain and interesting snowfall events during the deployment. In this work, the snowfall events are studied in detail to interpret the microphysics from a radar’s perspective. Interesting snow studies such as detecting the presence of pristine oriented ice crystals in the mixed phase snow clouds will be discussed in detail.
