RISOrientation Angle Distributions of Drops after an 80-m Fall Using a 2D Video Disdrometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This note reports on the use of a 2D video disdrometer to estimate the orientation of drops (>2 mm) that were generated artificially and allowed to fall 80 m from a bridge with no obstruction and under calm conditions. ...
A Methodology for Estimating the Parameters of a Gamma Raindrop Size Distribution Model from Polarimetric Radar Data: Application to a Squall-Line Event from the TRMM/Brazil Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A methodology is proposed for estimating the parameters of a gamma raindrop size distribution model from radar measurements of Zh, Zdr, and Kdp at S band. Previously developed algorithms by Gorgucci et al. are extended to ...
An Areal Rainfall Estimator Using Differential Propagation Phase: Evaluation Using a C-Band Radar and a Dense Gauge Network in the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An areal rainfall estimator based on differential propagation phase is proposed and evaluated using the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre (BMRC) C-POL radar and a dense gauge network located near Darwin, Northern ...
A Methodology to Derive Radar Reflectivity–Liquid Equivalent Snow Rate Relations Using C-Band Radar and a 2D Video Disdrometer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objective of this work is to derive equivalent radar reflectivity factor?liquid equivalent snow rate (Ze?SR) power-law relations for snowfall using the C-band King City operational weather radar and a 2D video disdrometer ...
Comparison of Drop Size Distribution Parameter (D0) and Rain Rate from S-Band Dual-Polarized Ground Radar, TRMM Precipitation Radar (PR), and Combined PR–TMI: Two Events from Kwajalein Atoll
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he estimation of the drop size distribution parameter [median volume diameter (D0)] and rain rate (R) from the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) as well as from combined PR?TRMM Microwave ...
Global Precipitation Measurement Cold Season Precipitation Experiment (GCPEX): For Measurement’s Sake, Let It Snow
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: s a component of Earth?s hydrologic cycle, and especially at higher latitudes, falling snow creates snowpack accumulation that in turn provides a large proportion of the freshwater resources required by many communities ...
