From:Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Vol. 15, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedWe investigate the boundary-layer (BL) height at Hyytiälä in southern Finland diagnosed from radiosonde observations, a microwave radiometer (MWR) and ERA5 reanalysis. Four different, pre-existing algorithms are used to...

From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 22, Issue 8) Peer-ReviewedThe formation of ice particles in Earth's atmosphere strongly influences the dynamics and optical properties of clouds and their impacts on the climate system. Ice formation in clouds is often triggered heterogeneously...

From:Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Vol. 15, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedRiming, i.e., the accretion and freezing of supercooled liquid water (SLW) on ice particles in mixed-phase clouds, is an important pathway for precipitation formation. Detecting and quantifying riming using ground-based...

From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 21, Issue 17) Peer-ReviewedMixed-phase clouds are globally omnipresent and play a major role in the Earth's radiation budget and precipitation formation. The existence of liquid droplets in the presence of ice particles is microphysically unstable...

From:Hydrology and Earth System Sciences (Vol. 25, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedAccurate, timely, and reliable precipitation observations are mandatory for hydrological forecast and early warning systems. In the case of convective precipitation, traditional rain gauge networks often miss...

From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 20, Issue 15) Peer-ReviewedIn stratiform rainfall, the melting layer (ML) is often visible in radar observations as an enhanced reflectivity band, the so-called bright band. Despite the ongoing debate on the exact microphysical processes taking...

From:Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics (Vol. 21, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedIce-nucleating particles (INPs) trigger the formation of cloud ice crystals in the atmosphere. Therefore, they strongly influence cloud microphysical and optical properties and precipitation and the life cycle of clouds....

From:Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Vol. 11, Issue 5) Peer-Reviewed
Radar-based snowfall intensity retrieval is investigated at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths using co-located ground-based multi-frequency radar and video-disdrometer observations. Using data from four snowfall...

From:Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Vol. 12, Issue 9) Peer-Reviewed
The accurate representation of ice particles is essential for both remotely sensed estimates of clouds and precipitation and numerical models of the atmosphere. As it is typical in radar retrievals to assume that all...

From:Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Vol. 11, Issue 10) Peer-Reviewed
We have developed an algorithm that retrieves the size, number concentration and density of falling snow from multifrequency radar observations. This work builds on previous studies that have indicated that...

From:Atmospheric Measurement Techniques (Vol. 12, Issue 2) Peer-Reviewed
quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) of snowfall has generally been expressed in power-law form between equivalent radar reflectivity factor (Z.sub.e) and liquid equivalent snow rate (SR). It is known that...
