| Summary: | Case studies of combined vertical-velocity measurements of Doppler lidar,
cloud radar and wind profiler are presented. The measurements were taken at
the Meteorological Observatory, Lindenberg, Germany. Synergistic products are
presented that are derived from the vertical-velocity measurements of the
three instruments: a comprehensive classification mask of vertically moving
atmospheric targets and the terminal fall velocity of water droplets and ice
crystals corrected for vertical air motion. It is shown that this combination
of instruments can up-value the measurement values of each single instrument
and may allow the simultaneous sensing of atmospheric targets and the motion
of clear air. |
