Abstract: The focus of this paper is on the numerical solution of the stochastic collection equation?stochastic breakup equation (SCE?SBE) describing the evolution of raindrop spectra in warm rain. The drop size distribution (DSD) ...

Abstract: The objective of this study is to characterize the signature of dynamical microphysical processes on reflectivity?rainfall (Z?R) relationships used for radar rainfall estimation. For this purpose, a bin model with explicit ...

Abstract: he objective of this paper is to characterize the precipitation amounts originating from tropical cyclones (TCs) in the southeastern United States during the tropical storm season from June to November. Using 12 years of ...

Abstract: he impact of the collisional warm-rain microphysical processes on the polarimetric radar variables is quantified using a coupled microphysics?electromagnetic scattering model. A one-dimensional bin-microphysical rain shaft ...

Abstract: A model of rain shaft microphysics that solves the stochastic advection?coalescence?breakup equation in an atmospheric column was used to simulate the evolution of a stratiform rainfall event during the Tropical Warm ...

Abstract: he objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a new parameterization of drop?drop collision outcomes based on the relationship between Weber number and drop diameter ratios on the dynamical simulation of raindrop ...

Abstract: Raindrop collision and breakup is a stochastic process that affects the evolution of drop size distributions (DSDs) in precipitating clouds. Low and List have remained the obligatory reference on this matter for almost ...

Abstract: he National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) stage IV quantitative precipitation estimates (QPEs) are used in many studies for intercomparisons including those for satellite QPEs. An overview of the National ...
