  1. Precipitation observation networksMartin HagenDLR Oberpfaffenhofen

  2. Precipitation related observations during COPS • Rain gauges • Weather radar • Micro Rain Radar (MRR) • Lightning observations 5th COPS Workshop March 2007

  3. Precipitation related observations during COPS • Rain gauges • Routine observations by weather services and LfU • Additional observations at supersites and other sites • Including disdrometers (Joss-Waldvogel, Parsivel, ...) 5th COPS Workshop March 2007

  4. Operational rain gauge networks plus large number of additional instruments at supersites and other target regions (e.g. Murg valley) 5th COPS Workshop March 2007

  5. Precipitation related observations during COPS • Rain gauges • Routine observations by weather services and LfU • Additional observations at supersites and other sites • Including disdrometers (Joss-Waldvogel, Parsivel, ...) • Weather radar • Operational radars by weather services and IMK • Additional radars (POLDIRAD, DOWs, X-Pol) 5th COPS Workshop March 2007

  6. Neuheilenbach Frankfurt Weather radars • 8 Doppler radars(1 polarimetric) • POLDIRAD atcentral location • French X-band atVosges supersite • dual-Doppler coverage needsadditional radars: • DOW’s (NCAR) • X-Pol (Greece) Türkheim Montancy F/CH Albis CH 5th COPS Workshop March 2007

  7. POLDIRAD ready to go 5th COPS Workshop March 2007

  8. Doppler on Wheels • DOW-2: 18 June – 10 Aug. • DOW-3: 12 July – 10 Aug. 5th COPS Workshop March 2007

  9. Weather radar products • DWD RX every 5 min. • DWD RZevery 5 min.R + correction. • DWD EZRZ + Nancyevery 5 min. • Insert Karlsruheradar and POLDIRADin RZ (EZ) forOPS centre. Can be done at DLR. 5th COPS Workshop March 2007

  11. Micro Rain Radars (MRR) • MRR’s located at super sites. • Forming a cross-section across Black Forest along POLDIRAD radial. • Polarization (H, V) study at Achern. Slanted (30°) operation. Only request of PPL for flights: BAE 146 (and ATR ??) flights along cross section 5th COPS Workshop March 2007
