Abstract: A one-dimensional precipitative model of cloud electrification is outlined in which field growth results from the operation of either in inductive or non-inductive mechanism. The cloud is cylindrical, of finite dimensions, ...

Abstract: An instrument for measuring the size and concentration of raindrops is described which has the ability to function equally well in calm conditions and strong winds. Raindrops are detected optically in a shadowgraph-type ...

Abstract: The differential reflectivity (ZDR) measures the mean shape of hydrometeors and provides an estimate of the mean size of raindrops Observations of ZDR for rain may be combined with the conventional radar reflectivity factor ...

Abstract: adar refractivity retrievals have the potential to accurately capture near-surface humidity fields from the phase change of ground clutter returns. In practice, phase changes are very noisy and the required smoothing will ...

Abstract: he copolar correlation coefficient ?hv has many applications, including hydrometeor classification, ground clutter and melting-layer identification, interpretation of ice microphysics, and the retrieval of raindrop size ...

Abstract: adar refractivity retrievals can capture near-surface humidity changes, but noisy phase changes of the ground clutter returns limit the accuracy for both klystron- and magnetron-based systems. Observations with a C-band ...

Abstract: he assimilation of Doppler radar radial winds for high-resolution NWP may improve short-term forecasts of convective weather. Using insects as the radar target, it is possible to provide wind observations during convective ...
