RISSeparating Cloud and Drizzle Radar Moments during Precipitation Onset Using Doppler Spectra
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he retrieval of cloud, drizzle, and turbulence parameters using radar Doppler spectra is challenged by the convolution of microphysical and dynamical influences and the overall uncertainty introduced by turbulence. A new ...
Characterization of Vertical Velocity and Drop Size Distribution Parameters in Widespread Precipitation at ARM Facilities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: xtended, high-resolution measurements of vertical air motion and median volume drop diameter D0 in widespread precipitation from three diverse Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Program (ARM) locations [Lamont, Oklahoma, ...
Automated Retrievals of Precipitation Parameters Using Non-Rayleigh Scattering at 95 GHz
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Automated retrievals of vertical air motion and the drop size distribution (DSD) slope parameter from the surface to the base of the melting layer are presented using a technique for W-band (95 GHz) profiling radars. The ...
