Abstract

A sequence of Doppler radar observations obtained during the PADRE project is used to identify a region of dry-air intrusion in a frontal system approaching the Alps. The study demonstrates the potential of Doppler radar to provide additional information to forecasters on fine spatial and temporal characteristics of frontal cyclogenesis.
