Model verification against observations <br /> <br />1.1 Convective situations <br /> <br />1.1.1 Open data sets <br />1.1.1.1.A Liquid microphysics only <br /> <br />GATE 226 <br />8/14/74 <br /> <br />Peggy Lemone <br /> <br />PBL experimental flights; cumulus <br />congestus 1 i ne wi th tops to 3 km MSL; <br />excellent radar coverage; four <br />ai rcraft <br /> <br />1.1.1.1.8 <br /> <br />GATE 261 <br />9/18/74 <br /> <br />Charles Warner <br /> <br />Wana cloud isolated and cluster case <br />observed by radar, rawinsondes and <br />aircraft. extensive analyses available <br />in literature <br /> <br />1.1.1.2 Maritime (mixed phase) <br /> <br />GATE 214 <br />8/2/79 <br /> <br />Peggy Lemone <br /> <br />Small Cb, four ai rcraft, radar, <br />rawi nsondes <br /> <br />Texas HI PLEX <br />7/3/79 <br /> <br />Jerry Jurica <br /> <br />Cumulus congestus; small cumulonimbus, <br />dynamic seeding test; seven rawinsonde <br />network, 34 soundi ngs; di gita I radar. <br />106 rain gages, three aircraft (two <br />with cloud physics data systems). A <br />seeded claud and un seeded cloud were <br />studied by cloud physics aircraft. <br /> <br />1.1.1.3.A Continental (all ice) <br /> <br />CCOPE <br />7/19/81 <br /> <br />Jim Dye <br /> <br />Sail plane microphysics in cloud, <br />single Doppler data, excellent cloud <br />microphysics and' mixing process data. <br />graupe1 evaluation with inhomogeneous <br />mixing. Classical thermal or bubble <br />characteristics, four powered <br />aircraft, multiple radars, and surface <br />data. <br /> <br />1.1.1.3.8 <br /> <br />Montana HI PLEX <br />7/22/79 <br /> <br />Al Cooper <br /> <br />Cumulus congestus HIPLEX-1 case study. <br />Excellent cloud physics data. Two <br />aircraft, four rawinsondes, digital <br />radar, full volume scans, static <br />seeding test case. <br /> <br />1.1.1.4.A Hail' <br /> <br />CCOPE <br />8/2/81 <br /> <br />Jay Hi 11 er <br /> <br />Cumulonimbus system, full <br />Doppler radar network, mesonet, rawin- <br />sonde - 19. and aircraft coverage. <br />Excellent analyses and data sets <br />available. ,Hail observed within the <br />network and processes well documented. <br /> <br />1.1.1.4.8 <br /> <br />Alberta <br />6/26/83 <br /> <br />Marianne Eng1 ish <br /> <br />Alberta hail experiment. S-band radar, <br />aircraft measurements of feeder <br />clouds, rawinsondes, time resolved <br />hailstone samples. 80th seed and <br />unseeded data sets and analyses are <br />available. <br /> <br />1.1.2 Closed data sets <br /> <br />All but the liquid microphysics only <br />case (1.1.1.1) have comparable closed <br />data sets - see text for details. <br /> <br />1.2 Orographic situation <br /> <br />1.2.1 Open data set <br /> <br />COSE <br />1/5/81 <br /> <br />Robert Rauber <br /> <br />Orographic cloud over the Park Range <br />of Colorado. High liquid water con- <br />tent cloud changes to ice system <br />during observational period. <br />Aircraft, radar and surface microphy- <br />sics and multiple rawinsondes (24) are <br />available. <br /> <br />1.2.2 Closed data set <br /> <br />Comparable closed data set available. <br /> <br />8, <br />
