摘要：

A severe cyclone, named Aila, passed over Kolkata on 25 May 2009. The strong convective activities manifested through rainfall during the cyclone were studied with multi-technique observations involving micro rain radar, disdrometer, rain gauges, and a Ku-band satellite signal receiving system. A number of features of precipitation, namely the presence of large rain drops, the large vertical extent of the precipitating layer, an unusual enhancement of cross-polar component, and strong scintillations of the co-polar component of the satellite signal due to strong turbulences associated with the cyclone, were observed. This study leads to a more comprehensive understanding of the precipitation associated with a cyclonic storm.
