Abstract: In attempting to use centimeter-wavelength radars to investigate the early stage of precipitation formation in clouds, ?mantle echoes? are rediscovered and shown to come mostly from scattering by small-scale variations in ...

Abstract: Observations from aircraft, Doppler radars, surface mesonetwork, upper air network and surveillance radar are used to describe the structure and evolution of a large rain and hailstorm that occurred on 22 June 1976 in ...

Abstract: Measurements of cloud droplet size spectra from a forward scattering spectrometer probe (FSSP) in developing cumulus show an excellent correlation between the calculated radar reflectivity factor and cloud liquid water ...

Abstract: Photographs of some variform cloud features observed in the inflow sector of an intense thunderstorm that occurred in southeastern Montana on 11 July 1981 are described. Associated meteorological conditions are interpreted ...

Abstract: Radar reflectivity factors exceeding 60 dBZ are documented within shallow (<3 km), warm (>0°C), summertime tropical rainbands offshore of the island of Hawaii. Dual-Doppler radar measurements from the Hawaiian Rainband ...

Abstract: Two case studies of rainband evolution off the windward coast of the Big Island of Hawaii are presented along with an overview of the complete radar and satellite dataset from the Hawaiian Rainband Project conducted in the ...

Abstract: The initiation of deep convection through forcing along boundary layer convergence lines is examined using observations from the Convection and Precipitation/Electrification Experiment conducted in east-central Florida ...

Abstract: The findings of the Multiple Doppler Radar Workshop are summarized by a series of six papers. Part I of this series briefly reviews the history of multiple Doppler experimentation, fundamental concepts of Doppler signal ...
