Adaptively Pointing Spaceborne Radar for Precipitation Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Mutually conflicting observational requirements such as high resolution, large-scan swath width, high-scan speed, and adequate signal dwell time have restricted the development of spaceborne meteorological radar from the ...
Severe Local Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper builds upon the findings of the previous authors (in this special session) and draws them together in an overall picture that highlights our concerns and focuses upon the critical problems. It offers a set of ...
Radar Calibration: Some Simple Approaches
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The proper calibration of weather radars has been at the heart of the problem of accurate reflectivity measurements for more than five decades. This paper summarizes a number of methods that have been used previously and ...
The Measurement of Crosswind by Non-Coherent Dual-Arm Bistatic Radio Tropo-Scatter Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The use of a dual-arm non-coherent bistatic tropo-scatter link is proposed as a means of measuring the cross-path motion of the wind. The arms are skewed symmetrically to either side of the great circle path so that one ...
THE ESTIMATION OF CLOUD PARAMETERS BY RADAR
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although the radar-reflectivity factor Z = ?Nd6 is a function of the liquid-water content W, median volume diameter d0 (or other characteristic diameter), and breadth of the drop-size distribution, correlations of Z vs. ...
