Session 9A Winter Storms: Microphysics and Dynamics

Wednesday, 30 August 2023: 8:00 AM-10:00 AM
Great Lakes BC (Hyatt Regency Minneapolis)
Host: 40th Conference on Radar Meteorology
Chairs:
Gerald Monroe Heymsfield and Lynn McMurdie

Integrated studies using ground-, airborne- and satellite-based radars sampling winter storms focusing on snow band formation, microphysics, and dynamics; microphysical retrievals used to improve understanding of snow processes; results from field campaigns such as IMPACTS and WINTRE-MIX are encouraged.
