There's been a lot of (justified) press on how dual-polarization radar will revolutionize -- no, is revolutionizing -- our conceptual models of convective storm structure, our ability to identify storms that are producing damaging hail or are tornadic, and more.
But I have a question: will this technology contribute to our understanding of convective initiation?
This isn't a positive/negative question. It's just a question. With regards to CI, does dual-pol offer anything, or are its benefits confined to the C instead of the I? Any thoughts?
