However, neither convective drafts nor spatial cloud structure are explicitly resolved by coarse - resolution global circulation models, so the convective vertical transport of hydrometeors (all forms of precipitation) must be parameterized. (pnnl.gov)
They finished with a diagnostic evaluation showing that the newly developed representation was successful in reproducing the vertical hydrometeor fluxes. (pnnl.gov)
All these sensors make measurements at critical frequencies at and above 85 gigahertz (GHz); sensors measure microwave emissions at 183 GHz, the signature frequency band emitted by water vapor, making it feasible to detect frozen hydrometeors (snow, ice, and the like) in the atmosphere. (eos.org)
