Comparison of Raindrop Size Distribution Measurements by Collocated Disdrometers
TL;DR: In this paper, an impact-type Joss-Waldvogel disdrometer, a two-dimensional video dis-rometer and a laser optical OTT Particle Size and Velocity (PARSIVEL) dis-device were used to measure the raindrop size distribution (DSD) over a 6-month period in Huntsville, Alabama.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The North Alabama Lightning Mapping Array (LMA) as mentioned in this paper is a test bed for the NEXRAD WSR-88D Doppler radar and has been used to measure the total lightning activity of a large number of severe weather events, including three supercell tornado outbreaks, two supercell hailstorm events and numerous microburst-producing storms and ordinary non-severe thunderstorms.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Total Lightning Trending Algorithm to Identify Severe Thunderstorms
Patrick Gatlin,Steven J. Goodman +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm that provides an early warning of impending severe weather from observed trends in thunderstorm total lightning flash rates has been developed and tested on 20 thunderstorms, including one non-severe storm, which occurred over the course of six separate days during the spring months of 2002 and 2003.
Journal ArticleDOI
Describing the Shape of Raindrop Size Distributions Using Uncorrelated Raindrop Mass Spectrum Parameters
Christopher R. Williams,V. N. Bringi,Lawrence D. Carey,V. Chandrasekar,Patrick Gatlin,Ziad S. Haddad,Robert Meneghini,S. Joseph Munchak,Stephen W. Nesbitt,Walter A. Petersen,Simone Tanelli,Ali Tokay,Anna Wilson,David B. Wolff +13 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed joint probability distribution functions (joint PDFs) of statistically independent DSD attributes derived from the raindrop mass spectrum, which are then mapped into gamma-shaped DSD parameters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drop size distribution comparisons between Parsivel and 2-D video disdrometers
TL;DR: In this paper, a 2D video disdrometer (2DVD) was used for drop size distribution (DSD) comparisons with co-located Parsivel measurements in Huntsville, Alabama.
