An Investigation on Arctic Precipitation

Abstract

Important information on our changing climate can be found in Arctic precipitation. Measurements from the Parsivel Disdrometer OTT2 and the Micro Rain Radar over the Arctic location of Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, reveal the occurrence of many forms of rain and snowfall with various growth mechanisms. Based on a year's worth of data, we give some case studies of various precipitation types with their characteristics and the related synoptic conditions in this study. This study will also include a variety of atmospheric phenomena, such as bright band and Virga. The findings are helpful in determining how climate change may affect arctic precipitation.
