Precipitating Cloud Characteristics during Changma as Seen in TRMM PR Observations

Figure 3

CFADs of the radar reflectivity profiles observed by PR (a, b) and mean radar reflectivity profiles (solid lines), median radar reflectivity profiles (dotted lines), and median profiles for radar reflectivities greater than the minimum detectable dBZ (dashed lines) (c). Black and red lines represent Changma and post-Changma period, respectively. The first and second rows represent convective and stratiform rain types, respectively.
