This paper presents the Meso-NH model version 5.4. Meso-NH is an atmospheric non
hydrostatic research model that is applied to a broad range of resolutions, from synoptic to …

Topography affects the intensity and spatial distribution of precipitation due to orographic
lifting mechanisms and, in turn, influences the prevailing climate and vegetation distribution …

Forward models are a key tool to generate synthetic observations given knowledge of the
atmospheric state. In this way, they are an integral part of inversion algorithms that aim to …

An advanced package of microwave remote sensing instrumentation has been developed
for the operation on the new German High Altitude LOng range research aircraft (HALO) …

The tropical transition of a Mediterranean storm that occurred on 26 September 2006 over
southeastern Italy is investigated. The explosive development classified this cyclone as a …

Polar lows are intense high-latitude mesocyclones that form during the cold season over
open sea. Their relatively small-scale and short life span lead to a rather poor representation …

Passive submillimeter-wave sensors are a way to obtain urgently needed global data on ice
clouds, particularly on the so far poorly characterized" essential climate variable" ice water …

The T-matrix method is among the most versatile, efficient, and widely used theoretical
techniques for the numerically exact computation of electromagnetic scattering by …

The direct and semi-direct radiative effects of biomass burning aerosols (BBAs) are
investigated over southern Africa and the southeastern Atlantic during the Aerosols …

This study evaluates the cloud and rain cell organization in space and time as forecasted by
a cloud-resolving model. The forecast fields, mainly describing mesoscale convective …
