More recently, the polarization properties of weather radar returns have been analyzed to differentiate between hail and heavy rain. [ 36 ] [ 37 ] The use of differential reflectivity ( Z d r {\displaystyle Z_{dr}} ), in combination with horizontal reflectivity ( Z h {\displaystyle Z_{h}} ) has led to a variety of hail classification algorithms ...
