GOAMAZONPARSIVEL
Observations and Modeling of the Green Ocean Amazon: Parsivel2
12 May 2014 - 30 November 2015
Lead Scientist: Courtney Schumacher
Observatory: amf, mao
A Parsivel2 disdrometer began observations at the AMF1 T3 site in Manacapuru at the beginning of the second GoAmazon2014/15 IOP (i.e., September 2014) and will be deployed through the end of the field campaign (i.e., December 2015). The Parsivel2 is providing drop-size distribution (DSD) information that will be used for improved rain rate measurements at T3 and improved rain rate estimates from the Brazilian SIPAM S-band operational radar in Manaus. The radar-derived rainfall will be used as an important constraint to the GoAmazon2014/15 forcing data set. The Parsivel2 DSDs will also provide a necessary reference point to calibrate the vertical velocity retrievals from the AMF1 WACR cloud profiling and UHF wind profiling instruments. Rain rates and in-cloud vertical velocities are important observations in order to understand the microphysical and kinematic properties of Amazonian convective clouds and their interaction with the land surface and atmospheric aerosols.
