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 کاملPolarimetric Radar Observations of Hail Formation
Analyses are made of the evolution of selected polarimetric radar data fields during periods immediately preceding the onset of near-surface hail indicators [high reflectivity and low differential reflectivity (Zdr)] in two nonsupercellular northeastern Colorado hailstorms. The primary data were obtained from the 11-cm-wavelength, dual-polarization Colorado State University (CSU)–University of ...
متن کاملPolarimetric radar observations during an orographic rain event
An intense orographic precipitation event on 5 January 2013 is analyzed using a polarimetric C-band radar situated north of the Alps. The radar is operated at the meteorological observatory Hohenpeißenberg (MHP, 1006 m a.s.l. – above sea level) of the German Meteorological Service (DWD). The event lasted about 1.5 days and in total 44 mm precipitation was measured at Hohenpeißenberg. Detailed h...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Radar Polarimetric Observations of the Lunar South Pole
Introduction: NASA's exploration plans for the Moon are being driven at least in part by the possibility that there may be exploitable deposits of water ice at the lunar south pole. Whether the elevated hydrogen abundance measured by Lunar Prospector corresponds to water ice and, if so, in what form is still a matter of conjecture. Bi-static radar observations with the Clementine orbiter are pu...
متن کاملImpacts of Polarimetric Radar Observations on Hydrologic Simulation
Rainfall estimated from the polarimetric prototype of the Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler [WSR-88D (KOUN)] was evaluated using a dense Micronet rain gauge network for nine events on the Ft. Cobb research watershed in Oklahoma. The operation of KOUN and its upgrade to dual polarization was completed by the National Severe Storms Laboratory. Storm events included an extreme rainfall case ...
