Q: What does KDP stand for?

Arab Weather - The abbreviation KDP in meteorology means Specific Differential Phase.

It is one of the products extracted from polarized weather radar, and is used to measure the speed and direction of rain or other precipitation in the atmosphere. KDP shows the difference in phase of the received signals between the horizontal and vertical directions of the radar, which helps to accurately determine the amount and intensity of rain.

The higher the KDP value, the more intense the rainfall, making it an important measure for predicting rainstorms and floods.
