1 Profilers & Surface Gauges NE Corner of Stuart Hwy & McMillans 2835-MHz Precip. Profiler: 0.3-18 km 920-MHz Wind Profiler: 0.3-3 km 50-MHz Wind Profiler: 2-8 km Joss-Waldvogel Disdrometer Two Rain Gauges ARM Site 50-MHz Boundary Layer Radar: 0.3-6 km

2 2835-MHz Profiler Vertical Beam (only) Precipitation Mode (60 m Pulse) Reflectivity Doppler Velocity Velocity Variance

3 2835-MHz Profiler Vertical Beam (only) Cloud Mode (500 m Pulse) Reflectivity Doppler Velocity Velocity Variance

4 920-MHz Profiler Vertical Beam (North or East) Reflectivity Doppler Velocity Velocity Variance

5 50-MHz Profiler Vertical Beam (North or East) Reflectivity Doppler Velocity Velocity Variance

6 Surface Disdrometer and Rain Gauges Disdrometer Reflectivity Disdrometer Rain Rate Rain Accumulations

7 50-MHz and 2835-MHz Spectra Air Motion Hydrometeor

8 Observed D 0 - Z DR D 0 Retrieved from profiler pair Z DR Estimated from CPOL Brandes et al. (2004): D 0 = 0.171Z DR 3 - 0.725Z DR 2 + 1.479Z DR + 0.717 Bringi et al. (2002): D 0 = 1.81Z DR 0.486 D 0 -Z DR Regression: 1.38 Z DR 0.547

9 Vertical Air Motion 50-MHz profiler Estimate updraft and downdraft statistics during convection – we have multiple years of data to analyze

10 50-MHz Boundary Layer Radar – ARM site Low altitude mode (0 – 3 km)

11 50-MHz Boundary Layer Radar – ARM site High altitude mode (2 – 8 km)
