• Form Thesis Committee, maybe Jake as member with David Delene and Andy Detwiler.
• Update Topic proposal, get done and sent out this week.
• Working on updating script for converting aircraft data to ADPAA format to work on 2000 data set.

Next meeting Tuesday, October 10, 2023.

• Discussed classes, no Measurement System and No Radar.
• Topic proposal revised. Need committee review topic.
• Try 12 CT on Friday for meeting.
• Working on Flight 757, which is June 22, 2000.
  • Did before June 22, 1995, Flight 668.
  • High concentration, overloaded the computer. No HVPS, use Hail Spec.
• My travel update. Best time for meeting is probably 10 am CST, 7 pm KSA, there is time change.
• Keep looking at data for quality assurance.

• David - Review Topic proposal.
• James - Get third person on committee.
• James - Do training.
• James - Work on software (convert), backup software.

Next meeting 2 pm Tuesday, October 17, 2023 (No Andy next week).

• Spectrum discussion. Uses time interval of 5 seconds (GNU), Aaron uses a correction, which is 1.1. Now the *.txt file from SODA Hail Spectrometer agrees with the *.dat counts file data exacted with ADPAA. The *Disp is 1-D counts and _SODA is the 2-d.
• Names should be HVPS-2D, HAIL-1D, HAIL-2D.
• Next meeting with Colorado is 5/21/2024 at 11 AM, no 9 am.

• James - Use names HVPS-2D, HAIL-1D, and HAIL-2D.
• James - Add HAIL-1D counting statistics uncertainty, see Shawn Wagner's 2023 paper (David's Website).
• James - Get HVPS processing to match, which should be similar to HAIL Spectrum..
• James - Make plots/tables for each 5 sections for different time segments, where we have radar data.
• David/Andy - Annual report.

• James - Particle size distribution much better now.
• James - Documenting workflow on Wiki page.
  • Has thing changed previous analysis?
    • Used 1D and HVPS.
    • James the 1D has not changed. HVPS data
• Andy, some analysis with and without hearing things.
• Chandra - HVPS is good for poster.
• Andy, the 1995 data is processed. Have to find and organize things.
• Chandra - 452 - Old book. See if James can reproduce. 1995 data.
• Meet in two weeks, June 4, Tuesday 10 am.
• Compare to times with less hail, in 2000.

• James - Get uncertainties in spectrum plots.
• Andy - Change 2D method, standard is 1D all-in processing. Get a comparison between methods.
• Andy - Starting draft of report.
• James - Set of images, with diameter, having individual images. Something for poster.

• Pat Kennedy, Andy Dewiler, James Klinman, Ivan Arias.

• Pat has nothing.
• James - Slides.
  • David - Talk about counting statistics.
  • David - Talked about combining spectrum.

Next Meeting - June 14, 11 CT.

• Pat Kennedy, Andy Dewiler, James Klinman, Ivan Arias.

• ICCP 2024
  • James - Update.
  • David - Update.
  • James - Uncertainty is interesting. How close was the plane and radar observations? Matching up data/. Why Tmatix, dis-dipolar, why not use. We have Tmaxtix setu.
  • Andy - What were they doing with radar processing? Create particle size distribution.
  • Pat - Exactly what were they doing.
  • David - Find paper on their work and send to group.
  • Pat - Nothing major, expand on things.
  • Chandra - Comments.
• Pat - Next steps. Processing all data from STEPS project (2000).
• Pat - At T-28 level. Will use 10 second data, in good format to get scattering from radar.
• Ivan - Finds the closest distance in time.
• James - Aaron new file with individual pbp data. Works with HVPS3 data, still working. There is issue with displaying the pbp images correctly.
• Andy - There is a factor of 4/1 scaling that is not applied to the pbp display, currently.
• James - Set the NetCDF file to 2. Set to 2 to get image data.
• David - Add the NetCDF options to ADPAA, set to default of 2.
• Andy - How long, does it take to processing.
• Ivan - Takes a 2-3 minutes processing for spectrum. Adjusting only air and ice. Working on getting the water amount. Use LDR to match aspect ratio.
• Andy - Size distribution with uncertainty bars. Can you use uncertainty to get radar uncertainty. Something good.
• Ivan - Yes, something to do.
• Andy - Want we have is a range of valves.
• James - Updated aspect averaging code. Can generate table of aspect ratio.
• Ivan - Can you use size bin aspect ratio? Yes.
• David - Can you weight the aspect ratio.
• Andy - Use LDR and Reflectivity, use anything else?
• Ivan - Yes, only LDR and reflectivity.
• Andy - An afternoon, can do a flight to see if water on the
• David - Drop off early.

• James - Add NetCDF option to ADPAA SODA processing.
• James - Different file for defining streaker file.
• David - Send file format to use.
• Ivan - Do AMS abstract draft.

• Andy Dewiler, James Klinman, David Delene

• 2 or 3 pm meet next week, Thursday September 5.
• Area ratio < 0.3, manually classified as Not Looked at / good / bad
  • Lots of particles between 0.1 to 0.3 are not good particles.
• What to do with two particles in the image.
• How to get size uncertain of particle to reflectivity.

• Select only large particle (>0.8), then make histogram of area ratio. Include particles < 0.1. Maybe use bin of 0.05 area ratio. Do histogram for whole hail time period.
• Get another meeting with Colorado setup.

• Andy Dewiler, James Klinman, David Delene

• Histrogram of area ratios. Looked at some plots. Looks like 0.4 area ratio to remove particles.
• Need to figure out how many of the < 0.4 are real data.
• Maybe work on code at 1 pm tomorrow.
