Abstract

New approach to use polarimetry for turbulence intensity estimate is proposed. It is based on estimation of the energetic characteristics of turbulent polarization spectrum. The proposed approach can be realized as a radar system that allows estimating the energetic characteristics of a set of polarization components of the received radar signal. The layout of a radar system for polarization components estimation is developed. Such approach can increase the informativity of weather radar systems relatively to obtaining information about factors that are the origin of changing polarization of reflected signal.
