With some poorly mouse written annotations. 2013-05-15_2336_MineralWells_Softballs_Anno.JPG Can you do dual-pol cross sections? Should be about as classic a ZDR column on that thing as you'll see. Pretty prominent differential attenuation behind the hail core visible in the ZDR like you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't do cross sections but it looks like the ZDR column extends to at least 20,800 ft on the 3.5 deg tilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
