1 DYNAMO Planning Meeting, Seattle, 6 July 2010 R. Houze DYNAMO Radar Plan

2 DYNAMO Hypotheses 1.Deep convection can be organized into an MJO convective envelope only when the moist layer has become sufficiently deep over a region of the MJO scale 2.Specific convective population at different stages are essential to MJO initiation 3.Upper ocean processes play essential roles in MJO initiation in the Indian Ocean

3 HUMIDITY DUAL WAVELENGTH Water vapor CM-WAVELENGTH Precipitation MM-WAVELENGTH Non-precipitating Cumulus MM-WAVELENGTH Anvil cloud This has never been done! * POLARIMETRY Microphysics DOPPLER Air motions

4 GanShip radar 1 Ship radar 2 Diego Garcia DYNAMO observing network and TRMM 3B43 Oct-Dec precipitation climatology

5 Proposed Radars AMF2 — Long, proposal to DOE Vertically pointing mm-wavelength Doppler radars (also on ships): X- band polarimetric Doppler radar Ka-band polarimetric Doppler radar SMART-R — Schumacher, proposal to NSF/JAMSTEC C-band Doppler radar S-PolKa — Houze, Medina, NSF facility request S- and K a -band polarimetric Doppler radar Ship radars — Rutledge, Fairall, Brewer, NOAA ship Revelle, Yoneyama, Japan ship Mirai C-band Doppler radar Vertically pointing mm wavelength cloud radar Aircraft radar — Fairall, Jorgensen, NOAA request X-band dual-Doppler radar Lower-fuselage C-band radar NOAA S-band profiler? — Williams, NOAA request

6 Installation sites suggested by survey team SMART-R Addu Atoll SPolKa/SACR? AMF2(MMCR?)/SPROF? 5 km

7 Radar Timeline 1-OCT 1- NOV 1-DEC 1-JAN 1-FEB 1-MAR 1-APR EOP AMF2, SMART-R, Darwin, Manus IOP S-PolKa, RV Revelle, RV Sagar-Kenya and RV Southern Surveyor (plus EOP observations) SOP RV Mirai (plus IOP observations)
