Short summary
We evaluate the new radar module of the Community Radiative Transfer Model using radar observations from multiple frequencies. Simulated reflectivities show strong sensitivity to particle size distributions and frozen hydrometeor habits. Results highlight the role of microphysical assumptions in radar forward modeling and their importance for assimilating spaceborne radar data in weather prediction models.
