Abstract: Riming is an efficient process of converting liquid cloud water into ice and plays an important role in the formation of precipitation in cold clouds. Due to the rapid increase in ice particle mass, riming enhances the ...

Abstract: n observation-based study is presented that utilizes aircraft data from the 2003 Wakasa Bay Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer Precipitation Validation Campaign to assess recent advances in the modeling of microwave ...

Abstract: ultisensor observations of anvil mammatus are analyzed in order to gain a more detailed understanding of their spatiotemporal structure and microphysical characterization. Remarkable polarimetric radar signatures are ...

Abstract: AbstractA new 94-GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) Doppler radar?radiometer system [Jülich Observatory for Cloud Evolution (JOYCE) Radar?94 GHz (JOYRAD-94)] is presented that is suitable for long-term continuous ...

Abstract: icrowave radiometers (MWR) are commonly used to quantify the amount of supercooled liquid water (SLW) in clouds; however, the accuracy of the SLW retrievals is limited by the poor knowledge of the SLW dielectric properties ...
