It has been shown that clouds are very complex in both the horizontal and vertical directions. Examination of the behavior and structure in the lower atmospheric boundary layer is important for understanding the snowfall formation process. Time and space variations of water vapor (cloud) distribution and snow particle were measured synchronously using optical lidar (ceilometer) and small vertically - pointing radar. One more lidar was set up at the distance of 3.1 km. Distance - height display was constructed from two time series data measured by each lidar. This display of visualization can give the information on the cloud size, shape, and the separation between clouds. Combination of these instruments and methods will be potent system for understanding the snowfall formation process in the lower atmospheric structure. |
