Freezing of Raindrops in Deep Convective Updrafts: A Microphysical and Polarimetric Model
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: olarimetric radar observations of convective storms routinely reveal positive differential reflectivity ZDR extending above the 0°C level, indicative of the presence of supercooled liquid particles lofted by the storm?s ...
Polarimetric Radar Characteristics of Melting Hail. Part I: Theoretical Simulations Using Spectral Microphysical Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: pectral (bin) microphysics models are used to simulate polarimetric radar variables in melting hail. Most computations are performed in a framework of a steady-state, one-dimensional column model. Vertical profiles of radar ...
Polarimetric Radar Characteristics of Melting Hail. Part II: Practical Implications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he results of theoretical modeling in Part I are utilized to develop practical recommendations for developing the algorithms for hail detection and determination of its size as well as attenuation correction and rainfall ...
