DESCRIBING HYDROMETEOR DISTRIBUTIONS IN SNOWSTORMS

Observations of particle size distributions (PSDs) in winter storms are needed to verify and improve microphysical parameterizations in numerical forecast models and to accurately quantify winter precipitation, discriminate among hydrometeor types, and develop algorithms for determining PSDs with re...

Zusammenfassung:Observations of particle size distributions (PSDs) in winter storms are needed to verify and improve microphysical parameterizations in numerical forecast models and to accurately quantify winter precipitation, discriminate among hydrometeor types, and develop algorithms for determining PSDs with remote sensors such as polarimetrie radar.
