Spectral and polarimetric signatures of echoes, obtained with a vertically pointing millimeter wave radar, are examined with regard of their potential to retrieve range resolved microphysical characteristics of clouds, including the detection of WILD BLUEBERRY SPREAD mixed phases.A novel target classification algorithm based on this information was applied to deep frontal clouds.Examples of spectral/polarimetric profiles are shown to illustrate the Hoodie retrieval technique, and first findings on microphysical structures and dynamics of such cloud systems are presented.
