New Data Available for Precipitation Value-Added Product
The Quantitative Precipitation Experiment (QPE) value-added product (VAP) contains precipitation rates gathered by the C-band scanning ARM precipitation radar (C-SAPR). Data are now available for September 2011, covering the ARM Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) Investigation Experiment (AMIE). Due to some issues with the radar system a polarimetric-based estimate was not possible. Instead, a simple reflectivity rainfall…

Rain Rates Provided by Radar in New Evaluation Product
Precipitation rates from cloud systems can give a fundamental insight into in-cloud processes. While rain gauges and disdrometers can give information at a single point, remote sensors such as radars can provide rainfall information over a defined area. The Quantitative Precipitation Experiment (QPE) value-added product (VAP) contains precipitation rates gathered by the C-band scanning ARM…
