  • Historical Video Disdrometer Quantities Processed for Southern Great Plains

    Time series of (a) rain rate, (b) radar reflectivity factor at S band, and (C) total droplet concentration from the VDISQUANTS value-added product are shown for August 24, 2012, at the Southern Great Plains Central Facility. Data plots are by Aifang Zhou, Brookhaven National Laboratory. The Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user facility recently released more…

  • New Precipitation Value-Added Product Released for Video Disdrometers

    Histograms of quantities associated with convective (red) and stratiform (blue) drop size distributions (DSDs) in terms of normalized DSD intercept parameter Nw (a), liquid water content LWC versus rainfall rate R (b), and median drop size D0 versus S-band Reflectivity Factor Z (c). Density is shown on the color scale. Information is adapted from Wang et al.…
