Short summary
In this paper, particle fall streaks are analyzed to understand ice particle growth processes within precipitating mixed-phase cloud systems. The analysis is done by rearranging spectral polarimetric radar measurements along the retrieved fall streaks. Therefore, it is possible to identify and study the growth of single ice particle populations from the top to the bottom of the cloud system. The results show that such small scale processes can be analyzed using a precipitation radar.
