1 ASR Meeting, San Antonio, 30 March 2011 R. Houze, C. Long, S. McFarlane, C. Schumacher, S. Rutledge, S. Ellis, M. Katsumata The DYNAMO/AMIE Radar Plan

2 DYNAMO/AMIE Objective Determine the evolution of the cloud population and humidity field in the region where the MJO disturbance develops Do this with radar!

3 HUMIDITY DUAL WAVELENGTH Water vapor CM-WAVELENGTH Precipitation MM-WAVELENGTH Non-precipitating Cumulus MM-WAVELENGTH Anvil cloud This has never been done! * POLARIMETRY Microphysics DOPPLER Air motions

4 Mirai, Scanning C-band, VP W-band 1-24 Oct., 31 Oct-28 Nov., + some cruising Revelle, Scanning C-band, VP W-band 28 Sep-30 Oct, 4 Nov-9 Dec, 13 Dec-4 Jan (?) S-PolKa, S & Ka band SMART-R, C band SACR, X & Ka band KAZR, VP Ka band DYNAMO & AMIE Radars ~800 km

5

6 Summary Ship and island radars will determine the evolution of the cloud population and humidity field during the buildup of the initiating disturbance of the MJO This effort links with the Manus part of AMIE, which will sample the MJO disturbance after it has been initiated over the Indian Ocean
