This paper explores the many aspects of precipitation measurement that are relevant to
providing an accurate global assessment of this important environmental parameter …

Cloud microphysical processes occur at the smallest end of scales among cloud-related
processes and thus must be parameterized not only in large-scale global circulation models …

A method for the parameterization of ice-phase microphysics is proposed and used to
develop a new bulk microphysics scheme. All ice-phase particles are represented by …

Abstract An impact-type Joss–Waldvogel disdrometer (JWD), a two-dimensional video
disdrometer (2DVD), and a laser optical OTT Particle Size and Velocity (PARSIVEL) …

This book presents the fundamentals of polarimetric radar remote sensing through
understanding wave scattering and propagation in geophysical media filled with …

The characteristics of raindrop size distributions (DSDs) and vertical structures of rainfall
during the Asian summer monsoon season in East China are studied using measurements …

Raindrop size distribution (RSD) characteristics of summer and winter seasons over north
Taiwan are analyzed by using long‐term (~ 12 years) raindrop spectra from Joss‐Waldvogel …

Ten 3‐D cloud‐resolving model simulations and four 3‐D limited area model simulations of
an intense mesoscale convective system observed on 23–24 January 2006 during the …

Differential sedimentation of precipitation occurs because heavier hydrometeors fall faster
than lighter ones. Updrafts and vertical wind shear can maintain this otherwise transient size …

The evolution of microphysical characteristics of a rainband in Typhoon Matmo (2014) over
eastern China, through its onset, develo**, mature, and dissipating stages, is documented …
