Improving Parameterization of Rain Microphysics with Disdrometer and Radar Observations
Disdrometer observations indicate that the raindrop size distribution (DSD) can be represented by a constrained-gamma (CG) distribution model. The model is used to retrieve DSDs from polarization radar measurements of reflectivity and differential reflectivity and to characterize rain microphysics and physical processes such as evaporation, accretion, and precipitation. The CG model parameteriz...
متن کاملRain observations with a vertically looking Micro Rain Radar (MRR)
Measurements of rain were obtained with a vertically pointing micro radar (MRR) with 1 min time resolution and 50(100) m height resolution at the German Baltic coast on the Zingst peninsula (54.43°N, 12.67°E). The comparison with a conventional rain gauge (30 min integration time) for a fi ve months summer period show a correlation coeffi cient of r = 0.87 for the rainrate and agreement within ...
متن کاملCloud radar observations of precipitation
An innovative method for the observation of vertical air motion and raindrop size distribution in precipitation using a 94-GHz Doppler radar is demonstrated in this paper. The method is particularly appealing since it is based on fundamental physics, the scattering of microwave radiation by large particles (Mie scattering). Observations from stratiform rain are presented to illustrate the poten...
متن کاملModis Observations of Deep Convective Cloud Tops
Past studies of the NOAA AVHRR/2 and GOES I-M imagery (e.g., Setvák et al., 1996) have shown that frozen tops of deep convective storms occasionally exhibit significant increase of cloud top reflectivity when observed in the 3.7 or 3.9 μm spectral bands. Similar storm top features have been documented in the NOAA-KLM AVHRR/3 1.6 μm spectral band (Setvák et al., 2003). Consequently, cross-compar...

1. はじめに リアルな雲の動きの生成は,コンピュータグラフ ィックス (CG)分野で重要な研究テーマの一つであ る.しかし,従来研究では降雨を伴う雲 (雨雲 )の形 成は考慮されていない.雨雲は,積雲・積乱雲・乱 層雲などの総称であり,さまざまな気象要因により 生じる.熱帯では主に,強い上昇気流によって雨雲 が形成される.また,日本のような中緯度帯では, 前線などのように,温度分布に変化がある空間中を 大気が主に水平方向に通過することによって雲が形 成される.例えば,温暖前線では乱層雲などが雨を もたらし,降雨を経て軽くなった雲がさらに前線面 に沿って上昇することにより,高い高度に薄い雲が 生成される.これらの気象現象により,雲の密度分 布・大気中の水蒸気分布や雨滴の大きさの分布は変 化に富み,輪郭が明瞭なものから不明瞭なものまで, さまざまな雲が形成される.このように,降雨を伴 ...
