| Zusammenfassung |
| This paper presents the first mobile X-band dual-polarization Doppler
weather radar termed MXPOL operated by the Laboratory of Hydrometeorology
(LABHIDRO) of the University of São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. It is used
in graduate and under graduate courses, real-time monitoring and nowcasting
of severe weather in the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo (MASP). It is
one of the first of its kind to be used operationally to provide real-time
high spatial resolution polarimetric data. MXPOL is an important component
of a Hydrometeorological Forecast System (Pereira Filho et al., 2005) for
MASP. This manuscript presents some instances of MXPOL polarimetric
measurements of weather systems and their respective microphysical,
dynamical and boundary layer features that can improve nowcasting. |
