“…Radar simulators, which can scan the output from high-resolution atmospheric models and largeeddy simulations, have been developed for weather radars (e.g., May et al 2007;Cheong et al 2008), millimeter-wavelength cloud radars (Clothiaux et al 1996), boundary layer wind profiling radars (e.g., Muschinski et al 1999;Scipi on et al 2009), threedimensional imaging radars (e.g., Yu and Palmer 2001;Cheong et al 2004), and radars with dual-polarimetric scanning capabilities (e.g., Capsoni et al 2001;Jung et al 2008).
