DOI: 10.1175/jhm-d-19-0085.1
Abstract: AbstractIn radar observations of hydrometeors, the 0°C isotherm in the atmosphere (i.e., the freezing level) usually appears as a region of enhanced reflectivity. This region is known as the bright... read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/oe.450714
Abstract: Observation of a melting layer using a 1.55 µm coherent Doppler lidar (CDL) is first presented during a stratiform precipitation event. Simultaneous radar measurements are also performed by co-located 1.24 cm micro rain radar (MRR)… read more here.
