A Millimeter-Wavelength Dual-Polarization Doppler Radar for Cloud and Precipitation Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A pulse Doppler radar system operating at 35 GHz and having full polarization (linear and circular) diversity capability is described. Separate antennas are used for the transmitter and the receiver because this design ...
On the Use of Radar Depolarization Ratios for Estimating Shapes of Ice Hydrometeors in Winter Clouds
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An approach is suggested to relate measurements of radar depolarization ratios and aspect ratios of predominant hydrometeors in nonprecipitating and weakly precipitating layers of winter clouds. The trends of elevation ...
Smoke-Column Observations from Two Forest Fires Using Doppler Lidar and Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: To demonstrate the usefulness of active remote-sensing systems in observing forest fire plume behavior, we studied two fires, one using a 3.2-cm-wavelength Doppler radar, and one more extensively, using Doppler lidar. Both ...
