Radar observations of the kinematic, microphysical, and precipitation characteristics of two MCSs in TRMM LBA (2002, methodology): “16 production mechanism via the freezing and subsequent riming of millimeter-sized raindrops [e.g., Goodman et al., 1988; Fulton and Heymsfield, 1991; Herzegh and Jameson, 1992; Takahashi and Kuhara, 1993; Ferrier et al., 1995; Bringi et al., 1997; Petersen et al., 1999; Smith et al., 1999; Carey an”
The Tropical Warm Pool International Cloud Experiment (2008, background): “Lightning activity provides additional information about convective intensity and the microphysical processes occurring in the convective cores (e.g., Carey and Rutledge 2000).”
Correcting Propagation Effects in C-Band Polarimetric Radar Observations of Tropical Convection Using Differential Propagation Phase (2000, methodology): “…that a systematic shift in the storm wide drop size distribution (DSD) from the developing-to-mature phase (0344–0502 UTC) to the late mature phase (0502–0543 UTC) (see Carey and Rutledge 2000) was responsible for the increase in coefficient a and the nearly simultaneous decrease in coefficient b.”
The 29 June 2000 Supercell Observed during STEPS. Part I: Kinematics and Microphysics (2005, methodology): “These methods have been described in Ryzhkov and Zrnić (1998) and used in studies such as Carey and Rutledge (1996, 1998, 2000) and Cifelli et al. (2002).”
