Term	Radar specific differential phase hv
Definition	Specific Differential Phase (KDP) is a derived product that shows the gradient, or change, in Differential Phase Shift (ΦDP). Positive KDP values indicate greater phase shift in the horizontal than the vertical. Increasing KDP is an indication of an increase in the size and concentration of rain drops, and thus, an increase in rain rate. This means that KDP is useful for pinpointing areas where the heaviest rainfall is occurring. naming accoring to WMO CF-extension Radial
