Matching Repeat within [T –  T, T +  T] Horizontal distance: 1 km Vertical Distance: 250 m  T = 90 sec, 150 sec Time T Position: lat, lon, altitude Wind: u, v, w Time T -  T Shortest distance

Future Steps 1.Finishing cataloging all matched data. 2.Fine tuning the algorithm for orographic environment (in collaboration with Scott Ellis and Vivek). 3.Determining the uncertainty of the hydrometeor classification algorithm output. 4.Using more than one radar volume to classify hydrometeor types. 5.Testing the conceptual model as proposed by Houze (in collaboration with Bob Houze and his research group).
