Cloud and precipitation processes are still the main source of uncertainties in numerical
weather prediction and climate change projections. The Priority Program" Polarimetric …

Forward models are a key tool to generate synthetic observations given knowledge of the
atmospheric state. In this way, they are an integral part of inversion algorithms that aim to …

Riming is an efficient process of converting liquid cloud water into ice and plays an important
role in the formation of precipitation in cold clouds. Due to the rapid increase in ice particle …

The dendritic growth layer (DGL), defined as the temperature region between-20 and-10∘
C, plays an important role for ice depositional growth, aggregation and potentially secondary …

Dual‐frequency dual‐polarization radar observations of the melting of two ice populations in
a stratiform rainfall event are presented. The observed phenomenon occurs as a two‐layer …

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 …

Low‐level mixed‐phase clouds (MPCs) occur extensively in the Arctic, and are known to
play a key role for the energy budget. While their characteristic structure is nowadays well …

Vertically pointing radar observations combining multiple frequencies and Doppler
measurements have been recently shown to contain valuable information about ice particle …

This study investigates the link between rain and ice microphysics across the melting layer
in stratiform rain systems using measurements from vertically pointing multi-frequency …

Riming, ie, 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 …
