Bulk Hydrometeor Classification and Quantification Using Polarimetric Radar Data: Synthesis of Relations
TL;DR: A fuzzy classification algorithm that builds upon this foundation for rule-based systems to deduce dominant bulk hydrometeor types and amounts using polarimetric radar data is discussed in a forthcoming paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloud Microphysics Retrieval Using S-Band Dual-Polarization Radar Measurements

TL;DR: This preliminary study has developed and implemented a fuzzy logic algorithm for hydrometeor particle identification that is simple and efficient enough to run in real time for operational use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct surface thermodynamic observations within the rear-flank downdrafts of nontornadic and tornadic supercells
TL;DR: In this paper, in situ surface observations within hook echoes and rear-flank downdraft (RFD) are analyzed to address whether certain types of hook echoes are favorable (or unfavorable) for tornadogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Precipitation Uncertainty Due to Variations in Precipitation Particle Parameters within a Simple Microphysics Scheme
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the sensitivity of accumulated precipitation to the microphysical parameterization in simulations of deep convective storms using a three-dimensional, nonhydrostatic cloud model with a simple liquid-ice microphysics scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Design and Deployment of a Portable, Pencil-Beam, Pulsed, 3-cm Doppler Radar
TL;DR: Doppler on Wheels (DOW) as discussed by the authors is a portable, pencil-beam, pulsed, Doppler, 3-cm wavelength radar that has been used to study a wide variety of meteorological phenomena including tornadoes, severe storms and boundary layer processes.
