Raindrop Size Distribution at NASA Wallops Flight Facility
In the Tropics more small drops and less large drops were found in oceanic precipitation than in continental precipitation at the given reflectivity. Similarly, more small drops and less large drops were found in remnants of a tropical cyclone than in frontal precipitation in mid-latitude site at the same reflectivity. The presence of small drops was higher in deep convective regime than in str...
متن کاملGround Based Rainfall Measurements at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility
The rainfall measurements collected at the NASA Wallops Flight Facility during the first 4 months of 2001 were analyzed to study the small-scale variability of rainfall and to evaluate the instruments performance with respect to each other. The instrument platform included impact and optical type disdrometers, tipping bucket rain gauges, and sonic anemometers. An X-band polarametric (X-POL) rad...
متن کاملPrecipitation classification at mid-latitudes in terms of drop size distribution parameters
The drop size distribution (DSD) is a fundamental property of rainfall because the shape of the distribution reflects the physics of rain formation processes. Given the lack of studies on the DSD at mid-latitudes, the present work focuses on the microphysical characterization of precipitation events occurring in Italy, using two different types of disdrometer. A large number of different rain e...
متن کاملTurbulence Structure of the Hurricane Boundary Layer between the Outer Rainbands
As part of the Coupled Boundary Layers Air–Sea Transfer (CBLAST)-Hurricane program, flights were conducted to directly measure turbulent fluxes and turbulence properties in the high-wind boundary layer of hurricanes between the outer rainbands. For the first time, vertical profiles of normalized momentum fluxes, sensible heat and humidity fluxes, and variances of three-dimensional wind velociti...
