RISScale Interactions Involved in the Initiation, Structure, and Evolution of the 15 December 1992 MCS Observed during TOGA COARE. Part II: Mesoscale and Convective-Scale Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper, the second of a series, documents the precipitation, and kinematic and thermodynamic structure of a tropical mesoscale convective system observed by instrumented aircraft on 15 December 1992 during TOGA COARE. ...
Scale Interactions Involved in the Initiation, Structure, and Evolution of the 15 December 1992 MCS Observed during TOGA COARE. Part I: Synoptic-Scale Processes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper, the first of a series, examines the synoptic-scale mechanisms involved in the initiation, structure, and evolution of a mesoscale convective system observed during TOGA COARE. This study relies upon the use of ...
Shipborne Polarimetric Weather Radar: Impact of Ship Movement on Polarimetric Variables at C Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he effect of ship motion on shipborne polarimetric radar measurements is considered at C band. Calculations are carried out by (i) varying the ?effective? mean canting angle and (ii) separately examining the elevation ...
Retrieval of Kinematic Fields from Dual-Beam Airborne Radar Data Gathered in Circular Trajectories during the FASTEX Experiment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present paper describes the vertical structure of the wind field obtained by analysis of ?purls,? that is, circular trajectories regularly performed by airborne dual-beam Doppler radars within the FASTEX frontal cyclones. ...
Retrieval of Kinematic Fields Using a Single-Beam Airborne Doppler Radar Performing Circular Trajectories
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The present study is devoted to new analyses of single-beam airborne Doppler radar data referred to as SAVAD (single-beam airborne velocity?azimuth display) and double SAVAD. These techniques permit processing of Doppler ...
Optimizing the Probability of Flying in High Ice Water Content Conditions in the Tropics Using a Regional-Scale Climatology of Convective Cell Properties
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n this paper, statistical properties of rainfall are derived from 14 years of Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission data to optimize the use of flight hours for the upcoming High Altitude Ice Crystals (HAIC)/High Ice Water ...
Obtaining Best Estimates for the Microphysical and Radiative Properties of Tropical Ice Clouds from TWP-ICE In Situ Microphysical Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: est estimates of the bulk microphysical and radiative properties (ice water content, visible extinction, effective radius, and total concentration) are derived for three case studies of tropical ice clouds sampled during ...
Evaluation of Ice Water Content Retrievals from Cloud Radar Reflectivity and Temperature Using a Large Airborne In Situ Microphysical Database
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to assess the performances of the proposed ice water content (IWC)?radar reflectivity Z and IWC?Z?temperature T relationships for accurate retrievals of IWC from radar in space or at ground-based ...
The Characterization of Ice Cloud Properties from Doppler Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The paper describes an original method that is complementary to the radar?lidar algorithm method to characterize ice cloud properties. The method makes use of two measurements from a Doppler cloud radar (35 or 95 GHz), ...
The Evaluation of CloudSat and CALIPSO Ice Microphysical Products Using Ground-Based Cloud Radar and Lidar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the statistical properties of tropical ice clouds (ice water content, visible extinction, effective radius, and total number concentration) derived from 3 yr of ground-based radar?lidar retrievals from the ...
