Abstract

The climatology of the vertical profile of raindrops size distribution (DSD) over Sumatra Region (10° S – 10° N, 90° E – 110° E) has been investigated using Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) level 2 data from January 2015 to June 2018. DSD's vertical profile was observed through a vertical profile of corrected radar reflectivity (Ze) and two parameters of normalized gamma DSD, i.e., mass-weight mean diameter (Dm) and total drops concentration (Nw). Land-ocean contrast and rain type dependence of DSD over Sumatra were clearly observed. The values of Dm and Nw were larger in the land than in the ocean. Negative and positive gradients of Dm toward the surface were dominant during stratiform and convective rains, respectively, consistent with the Z gradient. Moreover, the negative gradient of stratiform rain in the ocean is larger than in land. Thus, the depletion of large drops is dominant over the ocean, which is due to the break-up process that can be observed from the increase of Nw. Raindrop growth of convective rains is more robust over the ocean than land that can be seen from a larger value of Dmgradient. The BB strength is slightly larger over land and coastal region than over the ocean, indicating that the riming process is more dominant over land and coastal regions than the ocean. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01274 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

This work develops an algorithm to retrieve the vertical structure of the raindrop size distribution (DSD) of rain from simultaneous observations of 47 MHz Equatorial Atmosphere Radar (EAR) and 1.3 GHz Boundary Layer Radar (BLR) at Koto Tabang, West Sumatra, Indonesia (0.20°S, 100.32°E, 865 m above sea level). EAR is sensitive to the detection of turbulence, and BLR is susceptible to identifying precipitation echo. The EAR Doppler spectrum broadening effects due to turbulence and finite radar beam width were reduced using the convolution process. The Gaussian function was used to model the turbulence Doppler spectrum. A non-linear least-squares fitting method was applied to retrieve DSD parameters. Subsequently, the equations to estimate DSD using this dual-frequency algorithm assume the gamma DSD model to retrieve the distribution from the Doppler spectrum of precipitation echo. The precipitation events on April 23, 2004 on the Coupling Processes in the Equatorial Atmosphere (CPEA-I) project have been analyzed. Results show that the precipitation spectrum obtained using the dual-frequency method is higher, more precise, and well-fitted than the single-frequency method, meaning the dual-frequency method has great potential to be used in observing the microphysical process and remote sensing application analysis of DSD in Indonesia, particularly at Koto Tabang. The analyses show various microphysical processes that occur in the rain, such as coalescence, evaporation, break-up, and condensation. Furthermore, for the purpose of easier remote sensing application analysis of profile DSD characteristics, we use a DSD ΔΖMP parameter. ΔΖMP is a rain rate insensitive DSD parameter representing mean drop size. The trend of ΔZMP is not totally uniform with regards to rain rate and reflectivity factors, with ΔZMP higher in the first half of the event and becoming lower toward the end. This suggests that we have to use different Z-R relations within the event. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2022-06-03-02 Full Text: PDF
