Insight into the spatial variability of the (rain) drop size distribution (DSD), and hence rainfall, is of primary importance for various environmental applications like cloud/precipitation microphysical processes, numerical weather modeling, and estimatio ...
Precipitation is an important component of the Earth' water cycle and needs to be carefully monitored. Its large variability over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales must be taken into account. For example, hydrological models require accurate rain ...
A polarimetric X-band radar has been deployed during one month (April 2011) for a field campaign in Fortaleza, Brazil, together with three additional laser disdrometers. The disdrometers are capable of measuring the raindrop size distributions (DSDs), henc ...
The different quantities measured by dual-polarization radar systems are closely linked to each other. An extended Kalman filter framework is proposed in order to make use of constraints on individual radar observables that are induced by these relations. ...
We present a new environmental application of SPAD imagers, namely the continuous and real-time measurement of size and shapes of hydrometeors. Details of the set-up and results obtained with a first 32x32 pixel prototype based on the RADHARD2 chip [1] are ...
A method for the stochastic simulation of (rain)drop size distributions (DSDs) in space and time using geostatistics is presented. At each pixel, the raindrop size distribution is described by a Gamma distribution with two or three stochastic parameters. T ...
A stochastic method to disaggregate rainfall fields into DSD fields is proposed. It is based on a previously presented DSD simulator that has been modified in order to take into account imposed mean values provided at the coarser scale. The integral quanti ...
The performance of a continuous liquid-quench-based sampling system is presented, with regard to the sampling of condensable compounds. Toluene is used as a model molecule representing tars commonly found in the gas streams of biomass gasification plants a ...
A stochastic method to disaggregate rain rate fields into drop size distribution (DSD) fields is proposed. It is based on a previously presented DSD simulator that has been modified to take into account prescribed block-averaged rain rate values at a coars ...
Polarimetry improves radar rainfall estimation. It allows a better separation of meteorological and nonmeteorological echoes, a better identification of the type of hydrometeors, and an improved correction of the attenuation due to rain affecting the signa ...
