| Abstract: | Abstract A case study of the degradation of weather radar data by the accretion of wet snow on a radar dome is presented as a precautionary example to radar users. During the ERICA field program in 1989, accumulated precipitation on the radome at Halifax, Nova Scotia, attenuated signal in a distinctive, pie‐shaped sector on the upwind side of the radar. |
