Characteristics of radar echo during AAMP98
Precipitation clouds were classified by vertical pointing radar data measured at Ny-Alesund, Arctic from December 1997 to March 1998 including the AAMP period. The results show that the apparent radar echo frequency averaged 23% over the period and increased to roughly 50% in a warmer period. The ra...
