Description:This study uses observations from a ground-based instrument suite to investigate the rain-snow level (RSL) in stratiform rainfall from January 2014 to April 2020 in the Upper Great Lakes Region. The height above the surface where ice melts to rain, the rain-snow level, influences microphysical assumptions in remote sensing precipitation retrievals and the ability of space-based radar to discriminate surface precipitation phase because of ground clutter. The instrument suite is installed at the Marquette, MI (MQT) National Weather Service station adjacent to Lake Superior. Rain events and the RSLs are studied through a ground-based vertically profiling radar (Micro Rain Radar), a custom NASA-developed video disdrometer
