BIRDIE beryllium-10 and -7 measurements from 2022 summer deep convection rain at ARM SGP

Dataset Wharton, Sonia ; Hidy, Alan ; Repasch, Marisa ; ...

Water samples were manually collected from 11 SGP ARM sites in the early summer of 2022 to measure cosmogenic isotopes of beryllium. The water samples were brought back to the Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (CAMS) at LLNL and analysed for beryllium-10 and beryllium-7 as well as for chlorine-37, chlorine-36, and tritium. A total of six storm events were measured over three weeks. At least five of those storms included overshooting cloud events. Available data include precipitation amount, beryllium-10 concentration, beryllium-7 concentration, and 10/7Be ratio. Spatial and temporal variability in the cosmogenic isotopes was relatively high but could not directlymore »« less
A comparison of NEXRAD WSR-88D radar estimates of rain accumulation with gauge measurements for high- and low-reflectivity horizontal gradient precipitation events.

Journal Article Klazura, G E ; Thomale, J M ; Kelly, D S ; ... - J. Atmos. Ocean. Technol.

Radar-estimated rainfall amounts from the NEXRAD Weather Surveillance Radar precipitation accumulation algorithm were compared with measurements from numerous rain gauges (1639 radar versus gauge comparisons). Storm total rain accumulations from 43 rain events from 10 radar sites were analyzed. These rain events were stratified into two precipitation types: (1) high-reflectivity horizontal gradient storms and (2) low-reflectivity horizontal gradient events. Overall, the radar slightly overestimated rainfall accumulations for high-reflectivity gradient cases and significantly underestimated accumulations for low-reflectivity gradient cases. Varying degrees of range effects were observed for these two types of precipitation. For high-reflectivity gradient cases, the radar underestimated rainfall atmore »« less
