A high-resolution Doppler radar has the ability to detect individual hydrometeors, such as atmospheric raindrops, over 0.5 mm in diameter research led by the Naval Research Laboratory has revealed.

which then settled through the melting layer and contributed to the population of individual raindrops observed in the lower portion of the cloud by the MCR’s high-resolution waveform. The location of ...

The US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) researchers said recently that a Navy very high-resolution Doppler radar can actually spot individual raindrops in a cloudburst, possibly paving the way for ...

To make these high-resolution images and movies ... cooling plasma condenses and falls back toward the Sun's surface. "Raindrops in the Sun's corona can be narrower than 20 kilometers," NSO ...
