Outline
• Data Navigation Issues
• Summary of DOW cases
• Examination of two CI cases
• Quicklook at boundary layer cases
![Page 3: DOW Observations in IHOP and Analyses of CI Yvette Richardson, Nettie Arnott and Joshua Wurman.](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649d045503460f949d7de5/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Navigation of Data
• Multiple Doppler analyses require synthesis of radial velocity wind fields
• Winds must be put on a common grid before synthesis– Requires accurate ‘navigation’ of the data– Need location of trucks (gps) and pointing
angle of the radar

Determination of Pointing Angle
• Possible Methods – Use clutter targets
• Have to have targets to use
– Use reflectivity features and align• Tedious
• Accuracy is questionable
– Use the sun as a target – solar calibration• Do very slow scans across the sun
• Sub-beam accuracy
• Usually Possible – not good at noon

Solar Calibrations

Find the azimuth of max average power and compare to known sun location for your time and location

Available for all IHOP cases where a solar calibration scan was performed

• Agree very well with other techniques

10 June
Quasi-stationary cold front
Great coordinationCells initiated all along
the front – just outside the IOR but within overdetermined dual-Doppler coverage

Scientific Questions
• What controls the difference in convective modes on either side of the boundary?
• Why did the growing cumulus field suddenly cease its growth? Is this related to changes in the boundary?
• Role of the thin line which intersected the boundary. – unable to result in initiation – why?
• Role of the circulations along the boundary play? Related to preferred locations for clouds even though not initiation?
• What caused the initiation outside the box?

19 June 2002
• Boundary near Colby, KS
• Very interesting vortices along boundary
• Very well coordinated• CI occurred – possibly
within dual-Doppler coverage

2nd Deployment Sequence• DOW2 begins moving around
21:00 And gets in position at 21:20
• XPOL stays in position to provide DD with DOW3 over original triangle until 21:20 – breaks down on way to next deployment
• DOW3 switches to new sector at 21:20
• Initiation occurs at approximately 21:22
• Loop
21:33

Scientific Questions
• What role did the misocyclones play in the initiation of convection?
• Was water vapor enhanced near the misocyclones? Collaboration with lidar?
• What determined the locations of the misocyclones (intersections?)? Did these deepen the moisture field?

Future Work
• Finish dual-Doppler analyses
• Combine wind analyses with water vapor measurements (lidar)
• Continue QPF and BLE collaborations
• Many thanks to all collaborators
