RISEstimate of Precipitation from the Dual-Beam Airborne Radars in TOGA COARE. Part 1: The K–Z Relationships Derived from Stereo and Quad-Beam Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The recent development of dual-beam airborne Doppler weather radar offers the possibility to perform high-resolution observations of the three-dimensional air motion and precipitation fields associated with severe weather ...
Estimate of Precipitation from the Dual-Beam Airborne Radars in TOGA COARE. Part II: Precipitation Efficiency in the 9 February 1993 MCS
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dual-beam airborne Doppler radars are commonly used in convection experiments for their ability to describe the dynamical structure of weather systems. However, instrumental limitations impose the use of wavelengths such ...
Study and Tests of Improved Rain Estimates from the TRMM Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Rain rate R estimation from the 2A-25 profiling algorithm of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) precipitation radar (PR) is analyzed in two ways. Standard results from the operating version-5 algorithm are ...
The Concept of “Normalized” Distribution to Describe Raindrop Spectra: A Tool for Cloud Physics and Cloud Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The shape of the drop size distribution (DSD) reflects the physics of rain. The DSD is the result of the microphysical processes that transform the condensed water into rain. The question of the DSD is also central in radar ...
