RISUHF Wind Profilers: A New Tool for Diagnosing Tropical Convective Cloud Systems
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Uncertainty in the magnitude and distribution of diabatic heating associated with precipitating cloud systems is one of the major factors giving rise to uncertainty in the simulation of large-scale atmospheric circulations ...
Parameterization of the Spatial Variability of Rain for Large-Scale Models and Remote Sensing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he spatial variability of rain rate R is evaluated by using both radar observations and cloud-resolving model output, focusing on the Tropical Warm Pool?International Cloud Experiment (TWP-ICE) period. In general, the ...
Using Dual-Polarized Radar and Dual-Frequency Profiler for DSD Characterization: A Case Study from Darwin, Australia
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Comparisons are made between the reflectivity Z, median volume diameter D0, and rain rate R from a dual-frequency profiler and the C-band polarimetric radar (C-POL), which are both located near Darwin, Australia. Examples ...
The Christmas Island Wind Profiler: A Prototype VHF Wind-Profiling Radar for the Tropics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: After a decade of development, VHF wind profilers are being used for atmospheric research at several locations in the tropical Pacific. A prototype 50-MHz wind profiler was installed on Christmas Island in 1985 and has ...
