STUDY OF INTENSITY OF SURFACE PRECIPITATION USING RADAR INSTRUMENTATION

Abstract

The progress and results of the research accomplished during the year ending September 30, 1961, is presented. An evaluation of the streak camera as a raindrop sizing device is presented. Results of separating the raindrop data according to upper air stability are reviewed. The operations of the cameras at Island Beach, New Jersey; Franklin, North Carolina; and Mt. Withington, New Mexico, are summarized. One of the New Mexico storms which produced hail is examined in detail. (Author)
