Abstract:In this study, the grounded‐based Ka‐band millimetre‐wave cloud radar (MMCR) is used to analyse the cloud characteristics over the western Tianshan mountains. The cloud top height (CTH) obtained by MMCR is verified by comparing it with the Fengyun‐4A (FY‐4A) observations. Overall, the MMCR‐obtained CTHs are attenuated and lower than the FY‐4A‐obtained CTHs under precipitation conditions. Thus, the FY‐4A data is used to complement MMCR data when there is rainfall. The diurnal, seasonal variation and vertical st… Show more
