Freshwater Pools Features of Rain Patches Aurélie Moulin June 25, 2013
Puddle anomalies at Tpod1 Net heat flux over the last 2 hours Average wind speed over the last 2 hours
Puddle anomalies at Tpod1 Hours since precip last seen on Cband upstream from ship within 30 km Depth of rain patch at the leading edge
Puddle anomalies at Tpod1 Log(Chi) Average wind speed over the last 2 hours
Bravo No sharp front
Charley Sharp front propagating against the current
Itza Sharp front propagating along the current
Juliet Is Juliet a “Rain Puddle” per se?
?? Another feature propagates that isn’t seen on subsurface sensors
Marion (Jim’s favorite) Not seen on radar
Nate Strongly stratified at the base
Oscar Is Oscar a puddle?
Paula Superheated Head? Entrainment of warm water from above?
Shera Double sided? Succession of several patches?
Yankee Strongly stratified within the puddle
Missing pieces of the puzzle • Rain rate upstream • Bounds on puddles’ age
