Canting angle of tilted
convective systems (from aircraft sensors mesuring at
AMSU-B
frequencies):For details see publication 5 and 2.

(top) and radar EDOP reflectivity cross sections (bottom) along the
flight track on 26 Aug. 1998 during the CAMEX-3 campaign (1 min ~ 13
km). The red arrows (bottom) indicate the tilt angle,
derived from the MIR radances (top). It agrees well with the tilt angle
observed with the EDOP (bottom).
