Abstract

Analysis of data from three snow events during the MASCRAD winter campaign in Greeley, Colorado, USA, are presented. The campaign entailed multi-angle snowflake camera (MASC), 2D-video disdrometer, precipitation occurrence sensor system, Pluvio gauge, weather station, all installed at the well-established MASCRAD (MASC + Radar) snow field site, as well as state-of-the-art S- and X-band polarimetric radars. We present here microphysical characteristics analysis for three heavy snowfall cases, on (a) 21-22 Feb 2015, (b) 15 Dec 2015, and (c) 01-02 Feb 2016.
