A video precipitation sensor for imaging and velocimetry of hydrometeors
A new method to determine the shape and fall velocity of hydrometeors by using a single CCD camera is proposed in this paper, and a prototype of a video precipitation sensor (VPS) is developed. The instrument consists of an optical unit (collimated light source with multi-mode fibre cluster), an imaging unit (planar array CCD sensor), an acquisition and control unit, and a data processing unit....
متن کاملMicrophysical and Dynamical Characteristics of Low-Precipitation and Classic Supercells
The sensitivity of supercell morphology to the vertical distribution of moisture is investigated in this study using a cloud-resolvingmodel with 300-mhorizontal grid spacing. Simulated storms are found to transition from classic (CL) to low-precipitation (LP) supercells when the strength of elevated dry layers in the environmental moisture profile is increased. Resulting differences in themicro...
متن کاملImplementation and calibration of a multi sensor measuring system
We present our work on the implementation and calibration of a multi sensor measuring system. The work is part of a large scale research project on optical measurement using sensor actuator coupling and active exploration. This project is a collaboration of researchers from seven institutes of the University of Stuttgart including photogrammetry, mechanical engineering and computer science. The...
متن کاملRadar observations of the kinematic, microphysical, and precipitation characteristics of two MCSs in TRMM LBA
[1] Dual-Doppler and polarimetric radar observations are used to analyze two mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) that occurred during the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Large-Scale Biosphere-Atmosphere field campaign. The MCSs formed in different meteorological regimes, based on profiles of atmospheric wind and thermodynamic data. The first MCS event (26 January 1999) was a squall line tha...
متن کاملMetrical Calibration of a Phase Measuring Triangulation Sensor
Metrical calibration is very critical for the accuracy of a 3d sensor. Measuring uncertainty of about 1:3000 of the z-range requires a calibration accuracy of about 1:10. Several model-based approaches for this problem exist. In this article the calibration task for a phase measuring triangulation sensor is described. After a short description of the geometrical distortions that are compensated...
