Abstract
The Advanced Polarimetric Doppler Weather Radar Simulator (APDWRS) capable of generating I&Q time series voltages for a ground based fully-polarimetric Doppler weather radar is described in this paper. The Weather Research and Forecast (WRF) model is used in conjunction with the T-Matrix code to generate radar signals according to the propagation-modified covariance matrix. Mixtures of rain, hail, graupel and snow hydrometeors relative to a realistic weather phenomenon are considered. The polarimetric and Doppler observables estimated from the simulated radar signals showed a good agreement with those found in previous observations.
