Objective Determination of Cloud Heights and Radar Reflectivities Using a Combination of Active Remote Sensors at the ARM CART Sites

TL;DR: The U.S. Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Program is deploying sensitive, millimeter-wave cloud radars at its Cloud and Radiation Test Bed (CART) sites in Oklahoma, Alaska, and the tropical western Pacific Ocean.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Unattended Cloud-Profiling Radar for Use in Climate Research

TL;DR: In this paper, a millimeter-wave cloud radar (MMCR) was designed to provide detailed, long-term observations of nonprecipitating and weakly precipitating clouds at Cloud and Radiation Testbed (CART) sites of the Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) program.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-Band Polarimetric Radar Measurements of Rainfall

TL;DR: In this paper, a combined polarimetric estimator for rainfall rate (R) retrievals from X-band measurements at X band is proposed, which uses the horizontal polarization radar reflectivity Ze, differential reflectivity ZDR, and specific differential phase shift KDP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rain versus Snow in the Sierra Nevada, California: Comparing Doppler Profiling Radar and Surface Observations of Melting Level

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how remotely sensed atmospheric snow levels measured upstream of a mountain range (specifically, the bright band measured above radar wind profilers) can be used to accurately portray the altitude of the surface transition from snow to rain along the mountain's windward slopes, focusing on measurements in the Sierra Nevada, California, from 2001 to 2005.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Utility of X-Band Polarimetric Radar for Quantitative Estimates of Rainfall Parameters

TL;DR: In this paper, the utility of X-band polarimetric radar for quantitative retrievals of rainfall parameters is analyzed using observations collected along the U.S. west coast near the mouth of the Russian River during the Hydrometeorological Testbed project conducted by NOAA's Environmental Technology and National Severe Storms Laboratories in December 2003 through March 2004.
