RISStatistical Characteristics of Multipeak Raindrop Size Distributions at the Surface and Aloft in Different Rain Regimes
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Two years (?672 h) of lower-atmospheric wind profiler (LAWP) and 4 yr (?733 h) of Joss?Waldvogel disdrometer measurements are utilized to study the multipeak (MP) occurrence statistics at the surface and aloft. For the ...
Multipeak Raindrop Size Distribution Observed by UHF/VHF Wind Profilers during the Passage of a Mesoscale Convective System
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Indian Mesosphere?Stratosphere?Troposphere radar (IMSTR), Lower Atmospheric Wind Profiler (LAWP), and Joss?Waldvogel (JW) disdrometer measurements during the passage of two distinctly different (in terms of total rain ...
Impact of Misrepresentation of Freezing-Level Height by the TRMM Algorithm on Shallow Rain Statistics over India and Adjoining Oceans
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he estimation of freezing level-height (FLH) by the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) algorithm is evaluated, against several other data sources, over India and adjoining oceans. It is observed that the TRMM ...
Statistical Characteristics of Raindrop Size Distribution in Southwest Monsoon Season
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Raindrop size distribution (DSD) parameters are retrieved from dual-frequency (UHF and VHF) wind profiler measurements made at Gadanki, India, in a summer monsoon season. The convoluted UHF spectra are first corrected for ...
Classification of Tropical Precipitating Systems Using Wind Profiler Spectral Moments. Part II: Statistical Characteristics of Rainfall Systems and Sensitivity Analysis
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An automated precipitation algorithm to classify tropical precipitating systems has been described in a companion paper (Part I). In this paper, the algorithm has been applied to 18 months of lower atmospheric wind profiler ...
Classification of Tropical Precipitating Systems Using Wind Profiler Spectral Moments. Part I: Algorithm Description and Validation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The lower atmospheric wind profiler (LAWP) measurements made at Gadanki, India, have been used to develop an objective algorithm to classify the tropical precipitating systems. A detailed investigation on the existing ...
