Abstract: The vertical air motions and microphysical structures of the clouds associated with two mesoscale precipitation systems in the Pacific Northwest are examined using rawinsonde, aircraft and vertically pointing Doppler radar ...

Abstract: The air motions and growth of precipitation in warm-frontal clouds containing mesoscale rainbands have been studied through Doppler radar, aircraft, rawinsonde and surface measurements. Precipitation growth in deep ...

Abstract: Dual-polarization radar measurements of precipitation are primarily influenced by the size, shape, orientation, and phase of scattering hydrometeors. As a result, these measurements can serve as a tool for remote identification ...

Abstract: Detailed information is deduced on the mesoscale organization of precipitation, the structures of the clouds, the air flows associated with mesoscale rainbands, and the precipitation efficiencies and the mechanisms producing ...

Abstract: No Abstract.

Abstract: Measurements of the size spectra of precipitation particles have been made with Particle Measuring Systems probes aboard an aircraft flying through frontal clouds as part of the CYCLES (Cyclonic Extra-tropical Storms) ...

Abstract: Three algorithms based on geostationary visible and infrared (IR) observations are used to identify convective cells that do (or may) present a hazard to aviation over the oceans. The performance of these algorithms in ...
