Spaceborne radars offer a unique three‐dimensional view of the atmospheric components
of the Earth's hydrological cycle. Existing and planned spaceborne radar missions provide …

This paper reviews the current understanding of moist orographic convection and its
regulation by surface-exchange processes. Such convection tends to develop when and …

Large‐eddy simulations (LES) with the new ICOsahedral Non‐hydrostatic atmosphere
model (ICON) covering Germany are evaluated for four days in spring 2013 using …

More than one hundred days were simulated over very large domains with fine (0.156 km to
2.5 km) grid spacing for realistic conditions to test the hypothesis that storm (kilometer) and …

Precipitation in: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology Volume 34 Issue 11 (2017) …

Abstract The US Department of Energy's Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) user
facility recently initiated the Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) ARM Symbiotic Simulation and …

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 …

Ground-based observatories use multisensor observations to characterize cloud and
precipitation properties. One of the challenges is how to design strategies to best use these …
