Airborne W-band radar measurements of the Doppler spectrum of light precipitation

This paper presents Doppler spectrum measurements of drizzle and marine stratocumulus clouds from the University of Wyoming King Air W-band radar taken during the Coastal Stratus experiment off the coast of Oregon during late 1995. Comparisons with 2D PMS laser size spectrometer measurements of the same region indicate substantial agreement between the two approaches to drop size spectrum measurement.
