AMIE-Gan Ancillary Disdrometer

1 January 2012 - 10 February 2012

Lead Scientist: Mariko Oue

Observatory: amf, gan

As part of the AMIE-Gan campaign, an ancillary disdrometer for comparison with the ARM 2D Video Disdrometer and the ARM SACR and Texas A&M SMART-R C-band radar were fielded. Redundancy in the disdrometer measurements enhanced both the rain droplet measurement capability as well as "truth" for the radars.
