Abstract: Vertical incidence Doppler radar observations of an evaporating ice crystal cloud revealed many multimodal Doppler spectra, with modes often separated by more than 1 m s?1, and unusually large variances. The observations are explained in terms of a vertical velocity field consisting of a plane wave motion on sub-beam scales, and a larger scale horizontal shear of the vertical wind. Doppler spectra and variances of the proposed model of the vertical velocity are presented.
