Observations from a 94 GHz Doppler radar with supporting observations from lower-frequency radars and in situ instruments will be used to improve knowledge and understanding of key cloud and precipitation processes and provide high resolution observations needed to evaluate cloud resolving and explicit cloud models and techniques for measuring precipitation remotely. The focus is on both shallow and deep convection and stratiform precipitation observed in a tropical/subtropical environment. Bruce Albrecht from the University of of Miami will use the ISS/MAPR to conduct his measurements from 1 August through 30 September 2008 in Southern Florida.
