The Development of Raindrop-size Distributions and Implications Related to the Physics of Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Computations of the changes of the raindrop-size distributions with distance fallen are made with a computer. With the assumption of a steady mass flux of raindrops just below the melting level, changes brought about in ...
An Assessment of the Impact of Satellite Microwave Sounder Incidence Angle and Scan Geometry on the Accuracy of Atmospheric Temperature Profile Retrievals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cross-track and conical scan microwave sounder designs are compared with respect to temperature profile retrieval accuracy in nonprecipitating atmospheres and with respect to the beamfilling effect of precipitation. The ...
