Radar systems that transmit and receive both horizontal and vertical polarizations to characterize particle shape, orientation, and microphysical properties
Methodology for measuring turbulent fluxes using high-frequency measurements of vertical wind velocity and scalar concentrations
The positive feedback mechanism where reduced snow cover lowers surface albedo, increasing absorption and further reducing snow cover
Statistical approach using prior information and measurement uncertainties to optimally estimate atmospheric properties
Rate at which turbulent kinetic energy is converted to heat, used as quantitative measure of atmospheric turbulence intensity
Parameter describing the water uptake ability of aerosol particles using κ-Köhler theory
Spatial intersection of radar beams from different systems enabling measurement comparison
Direct transition of snow from solid to vapor phase, important for water balance in mountain watersheds
The difference between observed streamflow and expected or baseline streamflow, representing water shortage
Estimates of precipitation amount derived from radar and other observational data
