Typical <br />minimum range measurement is 100 to 300 m (depending on local radar clutter conditions] <br />and maximum range is 1.5 to 5.0 km depending on atmospheric moisture. <br /> <br />Radiometer: in this report, a passive instrument that measures natural radiation in <br />two specific microwaye .wavelengths related to emissions from \,,-ater vapor and liquid water; <br />the instrument is capable of estimating the vertically integrated amounts of water vapor and <br />liquid water above it. but no ranging information is pro"ided as from radar or lidar <br />measurements. <br /> <br />Rawinsonde: a method of obtaining upper-air measurements of the wind, temperature, <br />humidity, and pressure structure of the atmosphere; a balloon-borne instrument called a <br />radiosonde is tracked as it ascends by radar or radio direction finder. The radiosonde and <br />its balloon are commonly called a "weather balloon." <br /> <br />RDH: Red Hill <br /> <br />Reclamation: Bureau of Reclamation <br /> <br />SF 6: sulfur hexaflouride <br /> <br />Snowfall: For appendix E, snowfall is defined as the rate at which snow falls. <br /> <br />v <br />
