Doppler lidar measurements of oriented planar ice crystals falling from supercooled and glaciated layer clouds
C. D. Westbrook, A. J. Illingworth, E. J. O'Connor +1
The properties of planar ice crystals settling horizontally have been investigated using a vertically-pointing Doppler lidar. Strong specular reflections were observed from their o…
Testing the influence of small crystals on ice size spectra using Doppler lidar observations
C. D. Westbrook, A. J. Illingworth
Measurements of the vertical velocity of ice crystals using a 1.5micron Doppler lidar are described. The statistics from a continuous sample of stratiform ice clouds over 17 months…
The capacitance of pristine ice crystals and aggregate snowflakes
C. D. Westbrook, R. J. Hogan, A. J. Illingworth
A new method of accurately calculating the capacitance of realistic ice particles is described: such values are key to accurate estimates of deposition and evaporation rates in NWP…
Theory and observations of ice particle evolution in cirrus using Doppler radar: evidence for aggregation
C. D. Westbrook, R. J. Hogan, A. J. Illingworth +1
Vertically pointing Doppler radar has been used to study the evolution of ice particles as they sediment through a cirrus cloud. The measured Doppler fall speeds, together with rad…
GPM Ground Validation Basic Radar Products and Implications for Observation Strategies
S. Yuter, J. Koistinen, S. Di Michelle +4
Recommendations are made for NASA/JAXA Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) satellite Ground Validation (GV) program. This report details recommended GV site local radar products…
