Short summary
This study provides a detailed description of the radar simulator available within version 13 of the RTTOV (Radiative Transfer for the TIROS Operational Vertical Sounder) software. It is applied to the Météo-France global numerical weather prediction model, with the objective of simulating Dual-frequency Precipitation Radar reflectivity observations. Additionally, the simulation of the bright band is addressed and then successfully applied to model forecasts for the purpose of classifying NWP (numerical weather prediction) model columns between stratiform and convective categories.
