Retrieving Vertical Air Velocity in Convective Cloud over the Tibetan Plateau from TIPEX-Ш Cloud Radar Doppler Spectra
In the summertime, convections occur frequently over the Tibetan Plateau (TP) because of the large dynamic and thermal effects of the landmass. Measurements of vertical air velocity in convective cloud are useful for advancing our understanding of the dynamic and microphysical mechanisms of clouds and can be used to improve the parameterization of current numerical models. This paper presents a...
متن کاملOn retrieving the microphysical properties of cirrus clouds using the moments of the millimeterwavelength Doppler spectrum
[1] Techniques that use only measurements provided by millimeter-wavelength Doppler radar for retrieving the properties of clouds provide certain practical advantages over techniques that require measurements from multiple instruments. We concentrate on the capacity of the moments of the Doppler spectrum to provide information suitable for retrieving the microphysical properties of cirrus cloud...
متن کاملNOTES AND CORRESPONDENCE A Combined Wind Profiler and Polarimetric Weather Radar Method for the Investigation of Precipitation and Vertical Velocities
A method is presented by which combined S-band polarimetric weather radar and UHF wind profiler observations of precipitation can be used to extract the properties of liquid phase hydrometeors and the vertical velocity of the air through which they are falling. Doppler spectra, which contain the air motion and/or fall speed of hydrometeors, are estimated using the vertically pointing wind profi...
متن کاملSeparating Cloud and Drizzle Radar Moments during Precipitation Onset Using Doppler Spectra
The retrieval of cloud, drizzle, and turbulence parameters using radar Doppler spectra is challenged by the convolution of microphysical and dynamical influences and the overall uncertainty introduced by turbulence. A new technique that utilizes recorded radar Doppler spectra from profiling cloud radars is presented here. The technique applies to areas in clouds where drizzle is initially produ...
متن کاملLidar and Ceilometer Observations and Comparisons of Atmospheric Cloud Structure at Nagqu of Tibetan Plateau in 2014 Summer
In the project of the Third Tibetan Plateau Experiment of Atmospheric Science (TIPEX III), the intensive observation of cloud and precipitation in Nagqu was conducted from 1 July to 31 August 2014. The CL31 ceilometer and a WAter vapor, Cloud and Aerosol Lidar (WACAL) were deployed and focused on studying the cloud macroscopic characteristics and vertical distribution. The statistical result of...
