The OLYMPEX planning meeting in Seattle on January 22, 2015 discussed the contribution of polarimetric S-band radar in rain estimation systems targeted by OLYMPEX. The use of specific differential phase (Kdp) helps in minimizing assumptions about drop size distribution, convective/stratiform distinc

Utilizing Citation aircraft data from OLYMPEX, this study focuses on developing relationships between snowfall (rainfall) rate and radar reflectivity across various radar bands. Comparisons are made between in-situ aircraft data and retrieval products from CloudSat, GPM, and TRMM datasets. Results i

Down-valley flow in complex terrain areas like the Alps and British Columbia modifies precipitation patterns through diabatic cooling and melting effects. Observations from the OLYMPEX field campaign show how down-valley flow is influenced by both thermodynamics and pressure gradients, with signific

The study aims to evaluate precipitation products over the OLYMPEX domain during the winter of 2015-2016 by utilizing various data sources such as NOAA, NASA, and in-situ observations. The primary goal is to enhance the assessment of Global Precipitation Mission (GPM) products, focusing on regions w

This research evaluates model physics, specifically microphysics and boundary-layer schemes, using data from the OLYMPEX workshop in 2015. The study focuses on known deficiencies in microphysics schemes such as variability in location and amount for precipitation. Evaluations were conducted for case
