Radar Observations of Rain at Sydney, New South Wales

Abstract

The radar echoes received from rain during systematic observations carried out from January 1950 to January 1951 at the Radiophysics Laboratory, Sydney, N.S.W., are illustrated and described. Examples of echoes from melting and upper bands, non-freezing and frontal showers, thunderstorms, and echo masses are shown by vertical cross sections of the atmosphere through the point of observation.
