| Research Abstract |
Localized torrential rainfall causes heavy rainfall disasters, which is produced by an isolated cumulonimbus clouds that grow rapidly. To prevent these disasters, some criteria,hydrometeor classification, raindrop size distribution, vortex index, are developed using X-band polarimetric Doppler radars.
