Microphysical retrievals from simultaneous polarimetric and profiling radar observations
The character of precipitation detected at the surface is the final product of many microphysical interactions in the cloud above, the combined effects of which may be characterized by the observed drop size distribution (DSD). This necessitates accurate retrieval of the DSD from remote sensing data, especially radar as it offers large areal coverage, high spatial resolution, and rigorous quali...
متن کاملIce-phase Precipitation Retrievals over Land Using Combined Radar / Radiometer Satellite Observations
Passive microwave (PMW) measurements of ice-phase precipitation, such as snowfall and graupel, provide a physically direct basis for inferring the integrated amount of precipitation within a given field-of-view (FOV), assuming that other sources of noise can be adequately accounted for. However, the vertical distribution of precipitation within the FOV is generally unknown. By combining passive...
متن کاملClassification of convective/stratiform echoes in radar reflectivity observations using a fuzzy logic algorithm
[1] In radar reflectivity observations, the convective and stratiform rain types always have poorly defined boundaries, which caused problem for rain classification. A fuzzy logic (FL) algorithm is developed to classify convective and stratiform rainfall based on the radar reflectivity observations in the next three steps: First, the algorithm is calibrated on Hefei Doppler radar site in China....
متن کاملAirborne Doppler radar observations of convective plumes and radar ‘fine-lines’ ERAD02-A-00007
Reflectivities and Doppler velocities from an airborne 95 GHz radar are used to describe the detailed (~25 m) vertical structure of plumes and mesoscale convergence lines (‘fine-lines’) in the optically-clear convective boundary-layer (CBL). Multiple radar configurations are used, including a profiling mode, with fixed antennas looking up and down, and a vertical-plane dual-Doppler mode, employ...
متن کاملCorrection of Radar QPE Errors for Nonuniform VPRs in Mesoscale Convective Systems Using TRMM Observations
Mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) contain both regions of convective and stratiform precipitation, and a bright band (BB) is often found in the stratiform region. Inflated reflectivity intensities in the BB often cause positive biases in radar quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE). A vertical profile of reflectivity (VPR) correction is necessary to reduce such biases. However, existing ...
