Abstract
The observations of winter storms with 2-D video disdrometer and polarimetric radar were discussed. Winter precipitation often includes liquid, mixed-phase, and frozen hydrometeors and evolves continuously throughout the event. Precipitation on 5 March, 2004 was dominated by an intense 500 mb trough across the western US and an associated surface low pressure system over central Oklahoma. Winds above 3 km MSL, above the upslope layer, were mostly westerly or southwesterly. An increase in bulk density, as the number of aggregates decreased and that of compact graupel increased, was reflected by a general increase in Z DR and decrease in Z H.
