Abstract

Two years of volumetric radar observations acquired during the GoAmazon2014/5 field campaign by the SIPAM S-band radar in Manaus, Brazil were used to create rain rate estimates from radar reflectivity by Texas A&M University. Estimates of rain rates were generated using radar reflectivity data from the 2.5 km level and a Z-R relationship of Z=174.8*R^1.56.

GoAmazon2014/5 Three-dimensional Gridded S-band Reflectivity and Radial Velocity from the SIPAM Manaus S-band Radar

Dataset Schumacher, Courtney ; Funk, Aaron

Two years of volumetric radar observations acquired during the GoAmazon2014/5 field campaign by the SIPAM S-band radar in Manaus, Brazil have been quality controlled and interpolated to a fixed three-dimensional grid by Texas A&M University. The horizontal grid resolution is 2 km and the horizontal grid size is 482 km2. The vertical grid extends from 0.5 km to 20.0 km at intervals of 0.5 km. Volume scans are spaced at 12-minute intervals.
ARM - Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E): Multi-Frequency Profilers, S-band Radar (williams-s_band)

Dataset Williams, Christopher

This data was collected by the NOAA 449-MHz and 2.8-GHz profilers in support of the Department of Energy (DOE) and NASA sponsored Mid-latitude Continental Convective Cloud Experiment (MC3E). The profiling radars were deployed in Northern Oklahoma at the DOE Atmospheric Radiation Mission (ARM) Southern Great Plans (SGP) Central Facility from 22 April through 6 June 2011. NOAA deployed three instruments: a Parsivel disdrometer, a 2.8-GHz profiler, and a 449-MHz profiler. The parasivel provided surface estimates of the raindrop size distribution and is the reference used to absolutely calibrate the 2.8 GHz profiler. The 2.8-GHz profiler provided unattenuated reflectivity profiles ofmore »« less

Convective cloud vertical velocity and mass-flux characteristics from radar wind profiler observations during GoAmazon2014/5: VERTICAL VELOCITY GOAMAZON2014/5

Journal Article Giangrande, Scott E. ; Toto, Tami ; Jensen, Michael P. ; ... - Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres

A radar wind profiler data set collected during the 2 year Department of Energy Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Observations and Modeling of the Green Ocean Amazon (GoAmazon2014/5) campaign is used to estimate convective cloud vertical velocity, area fraction, and mass flux profiles. Vertical velocity observations are presented using cumulative frequency histograms and weighted mean profiles to provide insights in a manner suitable for global climate model scale comparisons (spatial domains from 20 km to 60 km). Convective profile sensitivity to changes in environmental conditions and seasonal regime controls is also considered. Aggregate and ensemble average vertical velocity, convective area fraction, andmore »« less
