Radar Observations of Updrafts, Downdrafts, and Turbulence in Fair-Weather Cumuli
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Observations from a 94-GHz radar are used to define the vertical structure of marine fair-weather cumuli. Doppler spectra obtained from the radar provide mean vertical velocities as well as detailed spectral shapes that ...
Millimeter-Wavelength Radars: New Frontier in Atmospheric Cloud and Precipitation Research
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the past 20 yr there has been substantial progress on the development and application of millimeter-wavelength (3.2 and 8.6 mm, corresponding to frequencies of 94 and 35 GHz) radars in atmospheric cloud research, ...
Leading Edge Radar: The Upgraded ARM Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E), a field program jointly led by the U.S. Department of Energy?s Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program and the National Aeronautics and Space ...
WIVERN: A New Satellite Concept to Provide Global In-Cloud Winds, Precipitation, and Cloud Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThis paper presents a conically scanning spaceborne Dopplerized 94-GHz radar Earth science mission concept: Wind Velocity Radar Nephoscope (WIVERN). WIVERN aims to provide global measurements of in-cloud winds using ...
The EarthCARE Satellite: The Next Step Forward in Global Measurements of Clouds, Aerosols, Precipitation, and Radiation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he collective representation within global models of aerosol, cloud, precipitation, and their radiative properties remains unsatisfactory. They constitute the largest source of uncertainty in predictions of climatic change ...
Rain in Shallow Cumulus Over the Ocean: The RICO Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Shallow, maritime cumuli are ubiquitous over much of the tropical oceans, and characterizing their properties is important to understanding weather and climate. The Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign, ...
