Abstract: This study concerns the statistical modeling of rain cell characteristics based on high-resolution radar measurements of the cell structure. The fine-scale three-dimensional structure of summer rainshowers in the mid-Atlantic ...

Abstract: Sensitive, high-powered radar have been used to study the dynamics of the convective process in optically clear air. Various stages in the development of the convective field have been identified on the basis of distinctive ...

Abstract: A comparison between the fluctuations in the horizontal component of velocity measured simultaneously by Doppler radar and aircraft has been made in clear air convective conditions. This experiment is the first in which ...

Abstract: An unusual case of multiple streamers or filaments with the characteristic mare's tail pattern in vertical section has been observed by radar where the generating elements were condensation trails laid by high-altitude ...

Abstract: Observations of the development of a convective field in clear air were made simultaneously using radar and an instrumented aircraft. The growth of the field as seen by the radar was compared with the characteristics of ...
