Title: PRECIP: SEA-POL Radar Data. Version 1.0
Data from the Colorado State University (CSU) Sea-Going Polarimetric (SEA-POL) radar that was deployed on Yonaguni (a Japanese island to the east of Taiwan) for the PRECIP (Prediction of Rainfall Extremes Campaign in the Pacific) campaign from June to August 2022. SEA-POL is a deployable C-band dual-polarization radar that conducted RHI and surveillance scans on 12-minute cycles.  more » « less

    Abstract The THINICE field campaign, based from Svalbard in August 2022, provided unique observations of summertime Arctic cyclones, their coupling with cloud cover, and interactions with tropopause polar vortices and sea ice conditions. THINICE was motivated by the need to advance our understanding of these processes and to improve coupled models used to forecast weather and sea ice, as well as long-term projections of climate change in the Arctic. Two research aircraft were deployed with complementary instrumentation. The Safire ATR42 aircraft, equipped with the RALI (RAdar-LIdar) remote sensing instrumentation and in-situ cloud microphysics probes, flew in the mid-troposphere to observe the wind and multi-phase cloud structure of Arctic cyclones. The British Antarctic Survey MASIN aircraft flew at low levels measuring sea-ice properties, including surface brightness temperature, albedo and roughness, and the turbulent fluxes that mediate exchange of heat and momentum between the atmosphere and the surface. Long duration instrumented balloons, operated by WindBorne Systems, sampled meteorological conditions within both cyclones and tropospheric polar vortices across the Arctic. Several novel findings are highlighted. Intense, shallow low-level jets along warm fronts were observed within three Arctic cyclones using the Doppler radar and turbulence probes. A detailed depiction of the interweaving layers of ice crystals and supercooled liquid water in mixed-phase clouds is revealed through the synergistic combination of the Doppler radar, the lidar and in-situ microphysical probes. Measurements of near-surface turbulent fluxes combined with remote sensing measurements of sea ice properties are being used to characterize atmosphere-sea ice interactions in the marginal ice zone.

    One of the challenges of analyzing convective cell properties is quick evolution of the individual convective cells.  While the operational radar data provide great a data set to analyze the evolution of radar observables of convective precipitation clouds statistically, previous studies also suggested that, because of the quick evolution of cell life cycle, conventional radar volume scan strategies taking ~5-7 minutes might not capture the detailed evolution. The TRACER campaign deployed CSAPR2, which performed frequent update of RHI and sector PPI scans to track convective cells every < 2 minutes guided by a new cell-tracking framework, Multisensor Agile Adaptive Sampling (MAAS; Kollias et al. 2020). This allows for capturing fast-evolving radar observables. The submitted data files are CSAPR2 data in CfRadial format collected during the TRACER field campaign from June to September 2020. The data files include processed radar variables including: noise-masked reflectivity and differential reflectivity corrected for rain attenuation and systematic biases, noise-masked dealiased radial velocity, specific differential phase, locations of target cells (latitude, longitude, radar range), and radar-echo classification.
