Cloud 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 کاملPrecipitation estimation over radar gap areas based on satellite and adjacent radar observations
Continuous rainfall measurements from groundbased radars are crucial for monitoring and forecasting heavy rainfall-related events such as floods and landslides. However, complete coverage by ground-based radars is often hampered by terrain blockage and beam-related errors. In this study, we presented a method to fill the radar gap using surrounding radar-estimated precipitation and observations...
متن کاملObservations and Uses of High Resolution Radar Data from Precipitation
The benefits of very high resolution data from scanning and vertically pointing radars in a research and operational environment are investigated. They are used to perform research on four test topics: the study of the melting layer of precipitation, the derivation of vertical wind profiles using conventional radars, high resolution radar hydrology, and a case study of an unusual weather event....
متن کاملWind Estimation from Geostationary-satellite Pictures
The motion of properly selected clouds derived from photographs taken by the geostationary Advanced Technology Satellites provides estimates of the wind a t cloud level. A large number of lowand high-cloud motions near rawin stations are compared to the balloon-derived winds to determine the levels at which these wind estimates might be used for map analyses and to assess their accuracy a t tho...
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...
