Working Group "Cloud Physics and Radar Meteorology", Leader Prof. Dr. K.-D. Beheng

Microphysics of clouds and precipitation

• Numerical studies on collision-induced breakup of raindrops
  

• On the influence of aerosol particles and condensation- as well as ice-nuclei related to the formation and development of precipitation in deep convective clouds

• Turbulence and the collision growth of cloud droplets (METSTROEM-Project)

Radar Meteorology

• Efficient radar forward operator for the operational data assimilation

*In the detailed texts many technical terms common in radar meteorology are used. Most of them are shortly explained (in German only) in a glossary provided by , Fa. Radar-Info, Karlsruhe and sometimes illustrated by an example.
