Improving Parameterization of Rain Microphysics with Disdrometer and Radar Observations
Disdrometer observations indicate that the raindrop size distribution (DSD) can be represented by a constrained-gamma (CG) distribution model. The model is used to retrieve DSDs from polarization radar measurements of reflectivity and differential reflectivity and to characterize rain microphysics and physical processes such as evaporation, accretion, and precipitation. The CG model parameteriz...
متن کاملError in the Sampling Area of an Optical Disdrometer: Consequences in Computing Rain Variables
The aim of this study is to improve the estimation of the characteristic uncertainties of optic disdrometers in an attempt to calculate the efficient sampling area according to the size of the drop and to study how this influences the computation of other parameters, taking into account that the real sampling area is always smaller than the nominal area. For large raindrops (a little over 6 mm)...
متن کاملDisdrometer Network Observations of Finescale Spatial–Temporal Clustering in Rain
The spatial clustering of drops is a defining characteristic of rain on all scales fromcentimeters to kilometers. It is the physical basis formuch of the observed variability in rain. The authors report here on the temporal–spatial 1-min counts using a network of 21 optical disdrometers over a small area near Charleston, South Carolina. These observations reveal significant differences between ...
متن کاملMicrophysics of Gauge Vortices and Baryogenesis∗
I give a brief overview of a novel mechanism for generating the baryon asymmetry of the universe at the electroweak scale. This scenario circumvents the need for a strongly first order electroweak phase transition by utilizing gauged topological solitons to realize the requisite departure from thermal equilibrium. CWRU-P12-97 MIT-CTP-2665 ∗Invited talk at “Solitons”, Queens University, Kingston...
متن کاملRain Gauge Station Network Design for Hormozgan Province in Iran
A rain gauge network should serve general as well as specific purposes such as water supply, hydropowergeneration, flood forecasting, irrigation, and flood control. The level of accuracy a network can achieve depends onthe number and locations of gauges in the network. In this study, a rain gauge network was designed for Hormozganprovince in the south of Iran. Monthly rainfall totals from 124 r...
