D3R Ku-band Z and RHOHV at 1827 UTC: Multi-”blob” mixed phase………..We had ice pellets, snow and rain not long before this was collected.
D3R Ku-Band slight wave and southward-sloping upper melt level (early xsect which I did not screen save really showed the precip enhancments along the wave better)
The reason for the “fun”- low level strong, cold northerly flow with strong mid-level, warm, jet over the top. Note bands/wavey enhancements in velocity as well.
