Abstract

The NASA/JPL Airborne Rain MApping Radar (ARMAR) was operated on the NASA DC-8 aircraft during TOGA COARE in early 1993. On 12 flights ARMAR observed stratiform precipitation associated with mesoscale convective systems. The statistics of 16 melting layer parameters, including maximum reflectivity, cooling rate, Doppler velocity, LDR, and the HH-VV correlation coefficient are presented and discussed.
