Abstract: A technique has been developed for the retrieval of three-dimensional particle velocities from Doppler data obtained with an airborne radar. The 95-GHz radar was mounted on the University of Wyoming KingAir aircraft. The ...

Abstract: A modified dual-Doppler analysis technique for use with airborne Doppler radars utilizing two fixed beams is presented. Although the data collected by such a system would ideally lie in the plane defined by the radar beam ...

Abstract: While past measurements of electric charges on cloud particles have led to some advances toward ascertaining the mechanisms of charge generation, it became evident that an important part of the problem is still unsolved, ...

Abstract: In situ and radar data from the second field study of the Dynamics and Chemistry of Marine Stratocumulus (DYCOMS-II) have been used to study drizzle in stratocumulus. Measurements indicate that drizzle is prevalent. During ...

Abstract: Transient appearance of ice nuclei active at temperatures of ?2 to ?5°C has been noted to accompany the natural decay of plant leaf materials. It was shown that the development of these nuclei results from the presence of ...

Abstract: Investigation of precipitation formation requires measurements of the drop size distribution in a cloud. These measurements have usually been made using ground-based radar systems or aircraft in situ probes. Difficulties ...

Abstract: This paper presents airborne W-band polarimetric radar measurements at horizontal and vertical incidence on ice clouds using a 95-GHz radar on the University of Wyoming King Air research aircraft. Coincident, in situ ...

Abstract: Shallow, maritime cumuli are ubiquitous over much of the tropical oceans, and characterizing their properties is important to understanding weather and climate. The Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) field campaign, ...
