X-band Polarimetric Radar Rainfall Measurements in Keys Area Microphysics Project
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Keys Area Microphysics Project (KAMP), conducted as part of NASA?s Fourth Convective and Moisture Experiment (CAMEX-4) in the lower Keys area, deployed a number of ground radars and four arrays of rain gauge and ...
Correction of Polarimetric Radar Reflectivity Measurements and Rainfall Estimates for Apparent Vertical Profile in Stratiform Rain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: method for correcting the vertical profile of reflectivity measurements and rainfall estimates (VPR) in plan position indicator (PPI) scans of polarimetric weather radars in the melting layer and the snow layer during ...
High-Resolution Rainfall Estimation from X-Band Polarimetric Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The paper presents a rainfall estimation technique based on algorithms that couple, along a radar ray, profiles of horizontal polarization reflectivity (ZH), differential reflectivity (ZDR), and differential propagation ...
Comparison of Two Raindrop Size Distribution Retrieval Algorithms for X-Band Dual Polarization Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this study the authors evaluate two algorithms, the so-called beta (?) and constrained methods, proposed for retrieving the governing parameters of the ?normalized? gamma drop size distribution (DSD) from dual-polarization ...
Monitoring Greek Seas Using Passive Underwater Acoustics
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he Hellenic Center for Marine Research POSEIDON ocean monitoring and forecasting system has included passive underwater acoustic measurements as part of its real-time operations. Specifically, low-duty-cycle long-term ...
Performance Evaluation of a New Dual-Polarization Microphysical Algorithm Based on Long-Term X-Band Radar and Disdrometer Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ccurate estimation of precipitation at high spatial and temporal resolution of weather radars is an open problem in hydrometeorological applications. The use of dual polarization gives the advantage of multiparameter ...
Evaluation of Operational and Experimental Precipitation Algorithms and Microphysical Insights during IPHEx
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractDuring May and June 2014, NOAA X-Pol (NOXP), the National Severe Storms Laboratory?s dual-polarized X-band mobile radar, was deployed to the Pigeon River basin in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina as part ...
