Résumé

The radar network deployed in Southern France during the first Special Observing Period (SOP1) of the Hydrometeorological Cycle in the Mediterranean Experiment (HyMeX) was designed to precisely document the 3-D structure of moist upstream flow impinging on complex terrain as a function of time, height and along-barrier distance as well as surface rainfall patterns associated with orographic precipitation events. This deployment represents one of the most ambitious field experiments yet endeavoring to collect high quality observations of thunderstorms and precipitation systems developing over and in the vicinity of a major mountain chain. Radar observations collected during HyMeX represent a valuable, and potentially unique, dataset that will be used to improve our knowledge of physical processes at play within coastal orographic heavy precipitating systems as well as to develop, and evaluate, novel radar-based products for research and operational activities. This article provides a concise description of this radar network and discusses innovative research ideas based upon preliminary analyses of radar observations collected during this field project with emphasis on the synergetic use of dual-polarimetric radar measurements collected at multiple frequencies.
