The Removal of Turbulent Broadening in Radar Doppler Spectra Using Linear Inversion with Double-Sided Constraints
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Remote sensing instruments have the ability to collect data over extensive temporal periods and spatial regions. A common thread between all these sensors is the need to relate the measured quantity to a meaningful observation ...
Processing Millimeter Wave Profiler Radar Spectra
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spectral processing algorithms employed in millimeter-wave profiling radars typically obtain good signal-to-noise ratios from weakly scattering clouds by incoherently averaging many spectra. Radar operating characteristics ...
Retrieval of Cloud Microphysical Parameters from 94-GHz Radar Doppler Power Spectra
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A technique is presented that uses Doppler spectra collected from a vertically pointing 94-GHz radar to reconstruct cloud and precipitation drop size distributions. A conceptual model describing the broadening of Doppler ...
Drizzle Suppression in Ship Tracks
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Although drizzle was a relatively infrequent occurrence during the Monterey Area Ship Track study, diverse measurements from several sources produced data signals consistent with a reduction in drizzle drops in stratus ...
Retrieval of Atmospheric Attenuation Using Combined Ground-Based and Airborne 95-GHz Cloud Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Cloud measurements at millimeter-wave frequencies are affected by attenuation due to atmospheric gases, clouds, and precipitation. Estimation of the true equivalent radar reflectivity, Ze, is complicated because extinction ...
