Abstract: It is not possible to deduce the size of raindrops from the average intensity of the radar signal produced by the precipitation region. However, if it is assumed that all the drops are of the same size, a relation between ...

Abstract: A number of physical factors that influence the relation between measured radar reflectivity and surface rainfall are considered both theoretically and through detailed comparisons of radar and raingauge measurements. These ...

Abstract: The studies presented here were undertaken to provide a specific and quantitative description of the precipitation patterns in New England storms. Basic data were quantitative radar observations and detailed raingage ...

Abstract: Observations and measurements of the bright band in radar echoes are presented. It is shown that the theory of coalescence and melting of snowflakes provides an adequate explanation of the phenomenon.

Abstract: A method is described for calculating cumulus-scale vertical transports of mass, sensible heat and hori-zontal momentum from detailed measurements of precipitation. The basic premises are that the amount of lifting in a ...

Abstract: Several sets of drop size measurements were made on ships and aircraft during GATE. The data were taken primarily as support for the radar measurements and have been analyzed to provide relations between radar reflectivity ...

Abstract: Precipitation patterns have been analyzed for six wintertime storms in New England where coastal fronts developed and for two without coastal fronts. In all of the storms the predominant precipitation features, as observed ...

Abstract: A relatively simple model of warm and cold rain microphysics in cumulus cells is developed. The proposed model avoids the large amounts of computation required in a non-parameterized treatment and yet removes some of the ...
