Microphysical observations during FASTEX from airborne doppler radar and in-situ measurements
International audience A major objective of FASTEX is to document the three-dimensional dynamic and microphysical structure of the North-Atlantic frontal cyclones in their mature stage at different scales of motion. In this paper, we combine the airborne Doppler radar and microphysical 2D-C and 2D-P...
