Combining cloud radar and radar wind profiler for a value added estimate of vertical air motion and particle terminal velocity within clouds

<p>Vertical-stare observations from a 482 MHz radar wind profiler and a 35 GHz cloud radar are combined on the level of individual Doppler spectra to measure vertical air motions in clear air, clouds and precipitation. For this purpose, a separation algorithm is proposed to remove the infl...
