Modeling of Rain Drop Size Distribution in Association With Convective and Cloud Parameter Over a Tropical Location
TL;DR: In this paper , the difference in rain drop size distribution (DSD) characteristics between convective and stratiform rain and in monsoon and pre-soon season have been investigated over a tropical location, Kolkata, using seven years of data collected from a Joss-Waldvogel disdrometer (JWD).
Journal ArticleDOI
The interseasonal features of precipitation microphysics over Thiruvananthapuram and Kolkata - the two tropical stations of Indian sub-continent
TL;DR: A comparative study of precipitation microphysics along with the possible causative mechanisms for the inter-seasonal variation of raindrop size distribution over Thiruvananthapuram and Kolkata has been highlighted in this paper.
Proceedings Article

Animesh Maitra,Rajasri Sen Jaiswal,Sonia R. Fredrick,Neela V S,Kaustav Chakraborty,Arpita Adhikari,Aniruddha Bhattacharya,M Rasheed,Leena Zaveri +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the precipitation radar (PR) onboard Tropical Rain Monitoring Mission (TRMM) estimates rainfall from space covering vast geographical area and compared with that obtained from India Meteorological Department( IMD) and also disdrometer over Calcutta.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Rain prediction using radiometric observations at a tropical location
Animesh Maitra,Rohit Chakraborty +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, radiometric brightness temperature measurements at Ka and V bands are utilized to predict rain event associated with impending convective processes. But the model is not able to predict both rain occurrence and rain accumulation.
Proceedings Article
Convective rain study with radiometer, radar and electric field observations at a tropical location
TL;DR: In this paper, features of convective rain in respect of liquid water content, rain rate profile, and electric field variation have been identified, and multi-frequency radiometric brightness temperatures are used to nowcast impending rain events and rain fall amount.
