The boundary layer, extending up to a weak inversion that  starts near 700 hPa (about 3 km), at that time has a relative humidity  of about 85 % that is nearly constant with height. Cloud base is near  950 hPa. Just a short time after that we got some nice rain showers near  and over the site, some heavier than others. They also nicely got  caught by the KIT radar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_0463-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-583 aligncenter\" title=\"IMG_0463-1\" src=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_0463-1.jpg?w=225\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_0463-1.jpg 600w, https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_0463-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_0464-1.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/rainshower_13112010.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-596\" title=\"rainshower_13112010\" src=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/rainshower_13112010.png?w=1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/rainshower_13112010.png 1200w, https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/rainshower_13112010-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/rainshower_13112010-1024x682.png 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 368px) 100vw, 368px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_0474-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-585\" title=\"IMG_0474-1\" src=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_0474-1.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_0474-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/barbados.mpimet.mpg.de\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/11\/img_0474-1-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the weekend we experienced some nice rain showers &#8211; some of which got us almost completely soaked.
