Abstract
Algorithms to determine the thermodynamic phase state of precipitation observed from spaceborne radar are provided in this section. After briefly describing the classical methods to determine the thermodynamic phase of precipitation at the surface, some advanced methods to separate solid precipitation regions from liquid precipitation regions in the vertical profiles of radar measurements are described.
