Abstract
The NASA/JPL Airborne Rain MApping Radar (ARMAR) was operated on the N ASA DC-8 aircraft during TOGA COARE in early 1993, On 12 flights ARMAR observed stratiform precipitation associated with mesoscale convectiv e systems. The statistics of 16 melting layer parameters, including ma ximum reflectivity, cooling rate, Doppler velocity, LDR, and the HH-VV correlation coefficient are presented and discussed.
