SWI workshop 08-12-2010Jesper Ellerbæk Nielsen”Combining C-band and X-band weather radars for accurate precipitation measurements over urban areas”Supervisors:Michael R. Rasmussen (AAU)Rasphal Gill (DMI)NielsEjner Jensen (DHI)
Agenda • Comparison of C- and X-band precipitation measurement • Investigation of drop size distributions
Comparison of C- and X-band precipitation measurements • How similar are the detection of the same precipitation events for the two radar systems? • Are there situations where the radar systems has different strength and weaknesses? • Is there a positive potential for integration of the two systems?
Comparison of C- and X-band precipitation measurements • Setup for the experiment 60km 240km 120km 30km 15km
Comparison of C- and X-band precipitation measurements • Static calibration for a two month period (1st of June to 31st July 2009) % %
Comparison of C- and X-band precipitation measurements • Strengths and Weaknesses
Comparison of C- and X-band precipitation measurements • Spatial correlation
Comparison of C- and X-band precipitation measurements • C-band X-band
Investigation of drop size distributions • Laser based distrometer – OTT Parsivel Describing the precipitation by drop size and drop velocity
Investigation of drop size distributions Convective event from 29 of June 2010
Investigation of drop size distributions • Stratiform event from 29th-30th of July 2010
