RISQuantitative Precipitation Estimation of the Epic 2013 Colorado Flood Event: Polarization Radar-Based Variational Scheme
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he accuracy of rain-rate estimation using polarimetric radar measurements has been improved as a result of better characterization of radar measurement quality and rain microphysics. In the literature, a variety of power-law ...
Estimation of X-Band Polarimetric Radar Attenuation and Measurement Uncertainty Using a Variational Method
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: variational algorithm for estimating measurement error covariance and the attenuation of X-band polarimetric radar measurements is described. It concurrently uses both the differential reflectivity ZDR and propagation phase ...
First Radar Echoes and the Early ZDR History of Florida Cumulus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The early histories of radar echo and polarization differential reflectivity (ZDR) from growing cumulus clouds observed in Florida with a 10-cm-wavelength radar are reported in detail. Raindrops 1 to several millimeters ...
Use of the Earth’s Surface as a Reference to Correct Airborne Nadir-Looking Radar Radial Velocity Measurements for Platform Motion
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA technique for correcting radar radial velocity Vr in airborne, nadir-pointing radar data using the surface of Earth as a reference is proposed and tested. Operating airborne Doppler radars requires correcting the ...
The Estimation of Snowfall Rate Using Visibility
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relationship between liquid equivalent snowfall rate and visibility is investigated using data collected at the National Center for Atmospheric Research Marshall Snowfall Test Site during two winter field seasons and ...
Comparison of Two Raindrop Size Distribution Retrieval Algorithms for X-Band Dual Polarization Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study the authors evaluate two algorithms, the so-called beta (?) and constrained methods, proposed for retrieving the governing parameters of the ?normalized? gamma drop size distribution (DSD) from dual-polarization ...
A Technique for Estimating Liquid Droplet Diameter and Liquid Water Content in Stratocumulus Clouds Using Radar and Lidar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper describes a technique for estimating the liquid water content (LWC) and a characteristic particle diameter in stratocumulus clouds using radar and lidar observations. The uncertainty in LWC estimate from radar ...
The Life Cycle of a Stationary Cloud Cluster during the Indian Summer Monsoon: A Microphysical Investigation Using Polarimetric C-Band Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
The Ice Water Paths of Small and Large Ice Species in Hurricanes Arthur (2014) and Irene (2011)
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ual-polarization scanning radar measurements, air temperature soundings, and a polarimetric radar-based particle identification scheme are used to generate maps and probability density functions (PDFs) of the ice water ...
Merged Cloud and Precipitation Dataset from the HIAPER GV for the Cloud System Evolution in the Trades (CSET) Campaign
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe Cloud System Evolution in the Trades (CSET) aircraft campaign was conducted in the summer of 2015 in the northeast Pacific to observe the transition from stratocumulus to cumulus cloud regime. Fourteen transects ...
