Cloud microphysical measurements at a mountain observatory: comparison between shadowgraph imaging and phase Doppler interferometry

نویسندگان

چکیده

Abstract. The microphysical properties of cloud droplets, such as droplet size distribution and number concentration, were studied. A series field experiments was performed in the summer 2019 at Umweltforschungsstation Schneefernerhaus (UFS), an environmental research station located just below peak Zugspitze mountain German Alps. VisiSize D30 manufactured by Oxford Laser Ltd., which is a shadowgraph imaging instrument, utilized for first time to measure velocity droplets during this campaign. Furthermore, phase Doppler interferometer (PDI) device, Artium Tech. Inc., simultaneously measuring droplets. After applying modifications built-in software algorithms, results from two instruments show reasonable agreement regarding sizing velocimetry diameters larger than 13 µm. Moreover, discrepancies observed concerning concentration results, especially with smaller sizes. Further investigation appropriate filters data allowed attribution phenomena: different optical performance sensors regard small high turbulent fluctuations relative mean flow that result uncertain estimate volume air passing through PDI probe volume.

Pedestrian Imaging Using UWB Doppler Radar Interferometry

The imaging of humans using radar is promising for surveillance systems. Although conventional radar systems detect the presence or position of intruders, it is difficult to acquire shape and motion details because the resolution is insufficient. This paper presents a high-resolution human imaging algorithm for an ultra-wideband (UWB) Doppler radar. The proposed algorithm estimates three-dimens...

Age-related changes in tricuspid inflow: comparison between phase contrast MR imaging and Doppler echocardiography

Background Several echocardiographic studies demonstrated the agerelated changes in RV diastolic function. An MRI study supported these findings using SSFP sequences but to our knowledge, there is no such evaluation using PCMR images. Although blood flow PCMR imaging is less operator-dependant than echocardiography, which is strongly conditioned by the transducer orientation, postprocessing of ...

Reflective interferometry for optical metamaterial phase measurements.

The unambiguous determination of optical refractive indices of metamaterials is a challenging task for device applications and the study of new optical phenomena. We demonstrate here simple broadband phase measurements of metamaterials using spectrally and spatially resolved interferometry. We study the phase response of a π-shaped metamaterial known to be an analog to electromagnetically induc...

Comparison between M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis

Introduction: Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is the persistence of a normal fetal structure between left pulmonary artery and descending aorta. Persistence of this fetal structure beyond 10 days of life is considered abnormal. In this study we compared M-Mode and Doppler echocardiography in diagnosis of PDA in children at Aliasghar Hospital in Zahedan and Children hospital in Bandar Abbas for...
