There have been many researches on polarimetric radar to implement it into operational uses. Based on these theoretical and other experimental researches, many countries are replacing or modifying their radars into polarimetric radar for operational use. There are three major agencies, Ministry of National Defense (MND), Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation (MOLIT), and Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA), which operate radars to monitor and forecast severe weather and flash flood operationally in Korea. Among these agencies, MOLIT installed polarimetric radars in 2009 and 2012 for the first time in Korea. KMA has installed the S-band polarimetric radar at the most north-western part of Korea in 2014. For successful implementation of their radars for the purpose of operational uses, many researches on rainfall estimation, hydrometeor classification and DSDs retrieval are required. However, there are few studies on these polarimetric related issues except for getting relationships using long period disdrometer data and assessment of each relation after applying a very simple quality control for differential phase shift (You et al., 2014). They found that the accuracy of rainfall estimation using R(Z, ZDR) obtained by DSDs of Busan area in Korea was the best one comparing with relations calculated by ones of Oklahoma in US. And the quality control and unfolding of ФDP for calculating KDP were applied to the rainfall estimation (You et al. 2014). Above two studies used only 84,574 samples of DSDs excluding winter rainfall events, two and four raindrop shapes for calculation of rainfall relations. In this study, to get an optimum rainfall estimation using polarimetric variables observed from Bislsan radar which is the first polarimetric radar in Korea, rainfall cases for 84 hours caused by different conditions, which are Changma front and typhoon, Changma front only, and typhoon only, occurred in 2011 were analyzed. |
