Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Most of severe phenomena, such as heavy precipitations, a tornado, and a downburst, are caused by locally generated thunderstorms and sometimes cause severe disasters. These phenomena are occurred in a short period of time (approximately several minutes). Therefore, it is difficult to predict the disasters. To observe the developing, mature, and dissipating stages of thunderstorms, a weather radar is one of the effective methods. At present, the X-band phased array weather radar (PAWR) that has high temporal resolution (30[sec] per volume scan) and high spatial resolution (100[m]) has been already developed and under operation in Osaka University. Although the PAWR is far superior in spatiotemporal resolution, the PAWR, which is a single polarization radar, has lower accuracy of observation than a parabolic type radar using dual polarized waves. Dual polarimetric radar observations provide multi-parameter measurements that reveal detailed microphysics of storms in addition to accurate precipitation estimation, and improve weather forecasts. As a next radar development project of the PAWR, a polarimetric phased array weather radar is currently under consideration. The under considering polarimetric phased array weather radar provides the polarimetric precipitation measurements in three-dimensional volume scanning in less than 10 or 30 seconds in a range of 20 or 60 km in real-time, respectively.In this paper, we design and simulate polarimetric phased array weather radar.
