Abstract: The Precipitation Occurrence Sensor System (POSS) is a small Doppler radar originally designed by the Meteorological Service of Canada (MSC) to report the occurrence, type, and intensity of precipitation in automated ...

Abstract: A discrete-ordinate radiative transfer algorithm for a multilayered plane-parallel atmosphere was used to evaluate the effect of raindrops on ground-based vertically pointing radiometric measurements in the 20-90- GHz ...

Abstract: The Precipitation Occurrence Sensor System (POSS) is a small X-band Doppler radar originally developed by the Meteorological Service of Canada for reporting the occurrence, type, and intensity of precipitation from Automated ...

Abstract: Precipitation detection and typing estimates from four sensors are evaluated using standard operational meteorological observations as a reference. All are active remote sensors radiating into a measurement volume near the ...

Abstract: Three techniques for the measurement of raindrop size distributions are compared using data from a Joss-Waldvogel disdrometer (JWD), a Particle Measuring Systems 2DG spectrometer (PMS), and an Atmospheric Environment Service ...

Abstract: Radiometrically determined temperature profiles were compared with radiosonde observations during the Canadian Atlantic Storms Program (CASP). A total of 108 profiles were available for the comparison, taken during diverse ...

Abstract: Atmospheric temperature profiles and integrated water vapor and liquid are retrieved from ground-based microwave radiometric measurements using both nonlinear optimal estimation (NLOE) and statistical inversion (SI) methods. ...

Abstract: Precipitation and environmental conditions occurring during accretion in Canadian east coast winter storms are described and investigated. Accretion is generally associated with snow, freezing rain, and ice pellets within ...
