TL;DR: In this article, the most important advantage of using radar for precipitation measurements is the coverage of a large area with high spatial and temporal resolution from a single point and in real time.

TL;DR: The performance of the 1.5-μm pulsed Doppler lidar, operated by the U.K. Universities Facility for Atmospheric Measurement (UFAM) over a 51-day continuous and unattended field deployment in southern England, is described and analyzed with a view to demonstrating the capabilities of the system for remote measurements of aerosols and velocities in the boundary layer as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review how flash floods are forecast considering the limitations and uncertainty involved in both the meteorological and hydrological aspects of forecasting systems, and propose ways of constraining flash flood forecasts as one way to improve forecast performance in the future.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the structure of the planetary boundary layer, confining their analysis to the region above the rooftops (canopy layer) up to around the level where clouds form.

TL;DR: The Convective Storm Initiation Project (CSIP) is an international project to understand precisely where, when, and how convective clouds form and develop into showers in the mainly maritime environment of southern England.
