Quality Assessment of Wind Estimation within Precipitation Using a Three-Beam Radar

Wind is an important indicator of circulation related processes in the atmosphere. Accurate wind in- formation is used as an input for weather and circulation models. Wind data with a high temporal and spatial resolution are useful for research on the microphysics of the atmosphere, which is the area of application for the three-beam...

Exploring the relationship between relative humidity and aerosol attenuated backscatter ratio: Geoscience & Remote Sensing

Clouds and aerosols continue to contribute to the largest uncertainty to estimates and interpretations of the Earth's changing energy budget. By comparing relative humidity (RH) and attenuated backscatter ratio (ATB) data and deriving scattering hygroscopic enhancement factors at the Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmospheric Physics Research ...
