Spaceborne radars offer a unique three‐dimensional view of the atmospheric components
of the Earth's hydrological cycle. Existing and planned spaceborne radar missions provide …

An improved understanding of processes dominating the sensitive balance between mass
loss primarily due to glacial discharge and mass gain through precipitation is essential for …

This study analyzes the influence of marine cold‐air outbreaks (MCAO) on snowfall and
cloud properties in the North Atlantic Ocean using CloudSat observations. Comparing …

An important objective of the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission is the
detection of falling snow, since it accounts for a significant fraction of precipitation in the mid …

Climate models predict Antarctic precipitation to increase during the 21st century, but their
present day Antarctic precipitation differs. A model-independent climatology of the Antarctic …

The first observationally based near-global shallow cumuliform snowfall census is
undertaken using multiyear CloudSat Cloud Profiling Radar observations. CloudSat …

Retrievals of ice and snow are made from Ka‐and W‐band zenith‐pointing Doppler radars
at Hyytiälä, Finland, during the snow experiment component of the Biogenic Aerosols …

This study contributes to the estimation of the global mean and zonal distribution of oceanic
precipitation rate using complementary information from advanced precipitation measuring …

Backscattering and extinction properties of various snow particle models are studied for
three typical cloud radar frequency ranges, namely Ku band, Ka band, and W band, both in …

Global statistics of snowfall are currently only available from the CloudSat satellite. But
CloudSat cannot provide observations of clouds and precipitation within the so‐called blind …
