Low-Cost Ka-Band Cloud Radar System for Distributed Measurements within the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
(MDPI, 2020)
Radars are used to retrieve physical parameters related to clouds and fog. With these measurements, models can be developed for several application fields such as climate, agriculture, aviation, energy, and astronomy. In ...
The GPM-DPR Blind Zone Effect on Satellite-Based Radar Estimation of Precipitation over the Andes from a Ground-Based Ka-band Profiler Perspective
(American Meteorological Society, 2022-04-26)
A vertically pointing Ka-band radar (Metek MIRA-35C) installed at the Instituto Geofísico del Perú, Atmospheric Microphysics and Radiation Laboratory (LAMAR) Huancayo Observatory, which is located at an elevation of 3.3 ...
The impact of microphysics parameterization in the simulation of two convective rainfall events over the Central Andes of Peru using WRF-ARW
(MDPI, 2019-08-01)
The present study explores the cloud microphysics (MPs) impact on the simulation of two convective rainfall events (CREs) over the complex topography of Andes mountains, using the Weather Research and Forecasting- Advanced ...
Multi-instrument rainfall-rate estimation in the Peruvian Central Andes
(American Meteorological Society, 2020-10)
Agriculture is one of the main economic activities in the Peruvian Andes; rainwater alone irrigates more than 80% of the fields used for agriculture purposes. However, the cloud and rain generation mechanisms in the Andes ...
Evaluation of GPM Dual-Frequency Precipitation Radar algorithms to estimate drop size distribution parameters, using ground-based measurement over the Central Andes of Peru
(Springer, 2021-09)
The raindrop size distribution (DSD) parameters, which consists of the mass-weighted average diameter (Dm) and the scaling parameter for the concentration (Nw) are essential to estimate precipitation in numerical modelling ...
Analysis of possible triggering mechanisms of severe thunderstorms in the Tropical Central Andes of Peru, Mantaro Valley
(MDPI, 2019-06-01)
The aim of the present study is to analyze the triggering mechanisms of three thunderstorms (TSs) associated with severe rainfall, hail and lightening in the tropical central Andes of Peru, specifically above the Huancayo ...
Analysis of extreme meteorological events in the central Andes of Peru using a set of specialized instruments
(MDPI, 2021-03-21)
A set of instruments to measure several physical, microphysical, and radiative properties of the atmosphere and clouds are essential to identify, understand and, subsequently, forecast and prevent the effects of extreme ...
