About this title

Review

'In my view, they have done a great service to the community in writing this book, which should be a valuable text for graduate students, and should be found on the shelves of anyone wishing to use polarimetric methods with modern weather radars.' Anthony Holt, Journal of Meteorology

'Overall, the authors have done an excellent job of presenting this challenging material ... the value of a book is not measured by its weight or number of pages; it is measured by the amount of knowledge it contains.' James D. Belville, EOS

Book Description
