Abstract: To obtain statistically stable reflectivity measurements by meteorological radars, it is common practice to average over several consecutive pulses during which the antenna rotates at a certain angular velocity. Taking ...

Abstract: In this paper, a method for the estimation of radar reflectivity from measured snow particle size distributions is presented based on earlier works of Marshall and Gunn and of Smith. During two snowfalls, the method was ...

Abstract: The performance of the laser-optical Particle Size Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometer is evaluated to determine the characteristics of falling snow. PARSIVEL?s measuring principle is reexamined to detect its limitations and ...

Abstract: imulation of radar beam propagation is an important component of numerous radar applications in meteorology, including height assignment, quality control, and especially the so-called radar forward operator. Although beam ...

Abstract: The effects of the collisional breakup of raindrops are investigated using the Hebrew University Cloud Model (HUCM). The parameterizations, which are combined in the new breakup scheme, are those of Low and List, Beard and ...

Abstract: Shallow convection is a subgrid process in cloud-resolving models for which their grid box is larger than the size of small cumulus clouds (Cu). At the same time such Cu substantially affect radiation properties and ...
