Abstract(in English) 50-MHz band wind profiler radars are only means to measure vertical air velocity (W) and reflectivity-weighted particle fall velocity (V_z) simultaneously. Linear depolarization ratio (δ) measured by a polarization lidar is useful to know phase and sphericity of hydrometeors. The 50-MHz band wind profiling radar named as the Equatorial Atmosphere Radar (EAR) and the 532-nm polarization lidar installed at Sumatra, Indonesia (0.2°S, 100.32°E, 865m MSL) measured stratiform precipitation on 8 and 16 December 2008. A case of weak stratiform rainfall on 8 December and that of active stratiform rainfall on 16 December 2008 showed a marked contract in W, V_z, and δ.
