RISError Analysis of a Conceptual Cloud Doppler Stereoradar with Polarization Diversity for Better Understanding Space Applications
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n error budget analysis is performed for retrieval of along-track winds based on the design of a spaceborne Doppler radar using polarization diversity. The analysis is conducted within the framework of a case study of an ...
Fast Lidar and Radar Multiple-Scattering Models. Part II: Wide-Angle Scattering Using the Time-Dependent Two-Stream Approximation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Spaceborne lidar returns from liquid water clouds contain significant contributions from photons that have experienced many wide-angle multiple-scattering events, resulting in returns appearing to originate from far beyond ...
Effects of Multiple Scattering on Attenuation-Based Retrievals of Stratiform Rainfall from CloudSat
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An attenuation-based method to retrieve vertical profiles of rainfall rates from height derivatives/gradients of CloudSat nadir-pointing W-band reflectivity measurements is discussed. This method takes advantage of the ...
A Rain-Rate Retrieval Algorithm for Attenuated Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A dynamic regularization scheme for rain-rate retrievals from attenuated radar measurements is presented. Most regularization techniques, including the optimal estimation method, use the state-space parameters to regularize ...
Polarization Diversity for Millimeter Spaceborne Doppler Radars: An Answer for Observing Deep Convection?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: paceborne Doppler radars have the potential to provide key missing observations of convective vertical air motions especially over the tropical oceans. Such measurements can improve understanding of the role of tropical ...

The Dual Wavelength Ratio Knee: A Signature of Multiple Scattering in Airborne Ku–Ka Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: eep convective systems observed by the High Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (HIWRAP) radar during the 2011 Midlatitude Continental Convective Clouds Experiment (MC3E) field campaign in Oklahoma provide the ...
Multiple Scattering Effects in Pulsed Radar Systems: An Intercomparison Study
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, two different numerical methods capable of computing multiple scattering effects in pulsed-radar systems are compared. Both methods are based on the solution of the time-dependent vectorial form of the ...
PARSIVEL Snow Observations: A Critical Assessment
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The performance of the laser-optical Particle Size Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometer is evaluated to determine the characteristics of falling snow. PARSIVEL?s measuring principle is reexamined to detect its limitations and ...
Characterization of Precipitating Clouds by Ground-Based Measurements with the Triple-Frequency Polarized Microwave Radiometer ADMIRARI
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A groundbreaking new-concept multiwavelength dual-polarized Advanced Microwave Radiometer for Rain Identification (ADMIRARI) has been built and continuously operated in two field campaigns: the Convective and Orographically ...
