Characterization of the precipitation in southwestern part of Greece with X-band Doppler radar, 2-D video disdrometer and rain gauges
We document precipitation in the southwestern part of Greece with the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) X-band radar, NOA 2D video disdrometer and a network of rain gauges. The observations were collected between February and April 2004. Time evolution of the drop size distribution (DSD) is prese...

| description | We document precipitation in the southwestern part of Greece with the National Observatory of Athens (NOA) X-band radar, NOA 2D video disdrometer and a network of rain gauges. The observations were collected between February and April 2004. Time evolution of the drop size distribution (DSD) is presented for the 9 March 2004 case where rain rate (computed on 1-min period) was measured up to 80 mm/h and reflectivity at the location of the disdrometer exceeded 40 dBZ. We then present the differences of DSD as function of the rain rate for the studied case as well as for the entire observations of the field experiment. It shows that higher the rain rate is, larger the range of the DSD and higher the concentration of the raindrops are. |
