The airborne weather radar on a commercial aircraft is essential to ensure flight safety. It is able to detect severe weather, probable areas where presence of hail may be suspected, and thanks to its Doppler capability, the wind shears that may be dangerous when taking-off or landing. However, because it operates at X-band, the picture that it offers to the pilot may be seriously biased in situation of severe weather, in reason of the attenuation of the radar wave.The adoption of the dual pol technique in this weather radar would be most beneficial for the quality of the information delivered to the pilot for the following reasons:The paper aims reporting recent advances in the exploitation of dual pol radar data, based on the concept of normalisation of the particle size distribution (PSD) and on ZPHI® algorithm for precipitation retrieval. Their combination helps retrieving parameter N0* able to represent alone the variability of the PSD, for rain or ice particles whatever. The main interest of the combination between dual pol radar and ZPHI® software for inflight application is:
