Short summary
This study compares two configurations of the dual-polarization observation operator for radar data assimilation. The power-law method efficiently simulates reflectivity but may introduce a bias in differential reflectivity. The direct integration approach yields more accurate and realistic simulations of both variables, with lower residuals, making it the more proper operator for dual-pol radar data assimilation.
