Abstract: We have studied a set of detailed mean horizontal wind profiles obtained with a three-component Doppler sodar. For inversion-capped, convective boundary layer conditions, empirical expressions for the mean horizontal wind ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to report on the retrieval of the vertically averaged liquid cloud water content and vertically averaged precipitation rates (rain and ice) from microwave airborne radiometric observations in a ...

Abstract: The first part of this paper is dedicated to establishing relations among rain-integrated parameters representative of west Pacific precipitation. This is achieved by using airborne microphysical data gathered within a ...
