definition: Correlation coefficient (also referred to as ρhv or rho) provides a measure of the consistency of the shapes and sizes of targets within the radar beam. A higher value shows a higher consistency in the size and shape of radar targets, while a lower value indicates greater variability in shapes and sizes.
