  1. The RadOn method and associated error analysisDelanoë J., Protat A., Bouniol D., Testud J. Centred’étude desEnvironnements Terrestre etPlanétairesCloudNET meeting : Paris 4/5th April 2005 Julien Delanoë

  2. Outline • RadarOnly Algorithm • Error analysis • Retrieval

  3. Radar Only AlgorithmRadOn Principle of the radar retrieval method

  4. Z Doppler Velocity Vd=Vt+w  Density law and Area diameter relationships Dm(Vt) IWC, a, re , t N0*=f(Dm,Z) Principle of theRadar Algorithm (1) Vt retrieval

  5. First step : Retrieval of VT from VD Vd=w+Vt Hypothesis (*) : for a long enough time span • 2 methods: • Vt-Z : Statistical relationship between Vd and Z • Assuming (*), we obtain Vt from Z (Vt=aZb) • New approach • Running Window: • Every 30s we compute the mean Vd over ±10 minutes (like Matrosov) for each radar gate.

  6. Running Window (20min) • Advantages: • Better resolution than Matrosov method • More variability of Vt than Vt-Z • But instability of RadOn when Vt<5cm.s-1 Retrieval of terminal fall velocity with different methods 04/14/03 Palaiseau Vt from Vt-Z relationship

  7. Vt retrieval Z Doppler Velocity Vd=Vt+w Density and Area diameter relationships Dm(Vt) IWC, a, re , t N0*=f(Dm,Z) Principle of theRadar Algorithm (2)

  8. Principle of the radar retrieval method (2) Second step : estimate of the particle density r(D) and areaA(D)from VT-Z relationship • Vt-Z relationship obtained from radar is compared to microphysical Vt-Z relationships with different density and area laws. • Microphysical Vt-Z relationships : r(D)=arDbr and v(D)=f(m(D),A(D),ad,bd) (Mitchell 1996) Where m(D)=(p/6) ar D3+br, A=g Dsand ad, bd are the continuous drag coefficients (Khvorostianov and Curry 2002). From coefficients of Vt-Z radar relationship we estimate the best density diameter and area diameter relationships.

  14. Evaluation of RadOn using the microphysical database

  15. Evaluation of RadOn using the microphysical database We compute Vt,Z, IWC, a and re from the in-situ measurements, assuming A(D) and r(D) • Dataset: CLARE 98, CARL 99, EUCREX, ARM SGP, FASTEX, CEPEX, CRYSTALFACE • We impose a density law and area diameter relationships for a radar at 35 and 95GHz: A(D)=gDs with several couples of coefficients r(D)=aDb with several couples of coefficients Entries of the algorithm :Vt and Ze from in situ data RadOn Algorithm IWC,a, re microf IWC,a, re from RadOn
