This paper introduces an experimental setup for retrieving horizontal wind speed and direction profiles with a high temporal and vertical resolution for process studies and validation of convection-permitting model simulations. The CMTRACE (tracing convective momentum transport i

lidarwind is an open-source Python project to retrieve wind speed and direction profiles from Doppler lidar observations from the WindCube-200s, and it was developed to be easy to use. It can retrieve wind profiles from the 6-beam and DBS scanning strategies and allow users to se

Ice microphysical processes in the dendritic growth layer
A statistical analysis combining multi-frequency and polarimetric Doppler cloud radar observations
The dendritic growth layer (DGL), defined as the temperature region between -20 and -10 °C, plays an important role for ice depositional growth, aggregation and potentially secondary ice processes. The DGL has been found in the past to exhibit specific observational signatures in
...
Convective clouds may be associated with substantial transport of momentum. Much of what we know about convective momentum transport stems from high-resolution simulations because high-resolution measurements of the wind profile are rare. This study exploits ground-based remote

Comparing the reflectivity flux at the top and bottom of the melting layer (ML) reveals the overall effect of the microphysical processes occurring within the ML on the particle population. If melting is the only process taking place and all particles scatter in the Rayleigh regi
