Using WSR-88D Polarimetric Data to Identify Bird-Contaminated Doppler Velocities
Figure 5
Images of (a) , (b) , (c) classification results produced by the simplified HCA, and (d) classification results produced by the original HCA from the KVNX 0.5° scan at 013150 UTC on 28 October 2011. The 10 classes in the original HCA are: ground clutter including that due to anomalous propagation (GC/AP); biological scatterers (BS); dry aggregated snow (DS); wet snow (WS); crystals of various orientations (CR); graupel (GR); (7) “big drops” (BD); (8) light and moderate rain (RA); (9) heavy rain (HR); and (10) a mixture of rain and hail (RH). The spatial resolutions of the original data are the same as in Figure 1.
