PROJECT GUSH II: INVESTIGATION OF PRECIPITATION PROCESSES

Abstract

The purpose of the report is to use a Doppler radar system for quantitative measurements of characteristics of the wind field and the hydrometeors associated with precipitation processes in the atmosphere. It is intended to extend these techniques in the present project to provide measurements of the growth rate of rain drops that occur in relatively stable atmospheric conditions and to make simultaneous measurements of the growth rate of drop size distributions and the speed of updrafts in convective clouds.
