  1. The U.S. network of WSR-88D dual-polarization weather radars adheres to design standards that are intended to ensure uniform radar measures from atmospheric phenomena. Although these radars have been designed to collect weather information, they also monitor atmospheric biota. In this communication, we demonstrate that radar patterns from airborne insects from co-located WSR-88Ds can differ significantly. We explain these discrepancies as a result of different phase shifts between transmitted polarized radar waves, and we argue that this phase is a critical radar parameter for the interpretation of radar variables from airborne insects.
