From CSU-CHILL
Testing conducted with the NASA N-Pol radar connected to the CSU-CHILL offset feed antenna continued during December. Snow band echoes were observed in this operating configuration on 3 December 2008. Distinctly positive Zdr values were noted in the weak reflectivity areas between the snow bands. These positive Zdr's were due to the presence of appreciable numbers of relatively pristine, unaggregated ice crystals.
