Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA new 94-GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) Doppler radar?radiometer system [Jülich Observatory for Cloud Evolution (JOYCE) Radar?94 GHz (JOYRAD-94)] is presented that is suitable for long-term continuous ...
Interpretation of Polarization Features in Ground-Based Microwave Observations as Caused by Horizontally Aligned Oblate Raindrops
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Based on a comparison of ground-based radiometer measurements with microwave radiative transfer calculations, it is shown that raindrops with an oblate shape and a preferred horizontal orientation have a significant effect ...
