A New Hypothesis for Layers of High Reflectivity Seen in MST Radar Observations
G. C. Asnani, M. K. Rama Varma Raja
Abstract
Analysis of MST radar observations at Gadanki (near Tirupati, India), for a period of 14 months from 1995 September to 1996 November, shows that "Clear air Turbulence" is not the primary source of high MST radar reflectivity; this conventional idea needs to be modified. An alternative hypothesis based on the microphysics and microdynamics associated with aerosols and water substance in the atmosphere, is presented here.
