Abstract: quality control method for combined online monitoring of weather radar antenna pointing biases and receiver calibration using solar signals detected by an operational radar is adapted for application to midrange radar data ...

Abstract: hree methods for estimation of the weather radar antenna azimuth and elevation pointing offsets are compared. Two of the methods reviewed use the known location of the sun as a reference. The first of these methods is based ...

Abstract: Radars operating in complex orographic areas usually suffer from partial or total beam blockage by surrounding targets at their lowest elevation scans. The need for radar quantitative precipitation estimates in such ...

Abstract: This study shows the results of the modeling of drop size distributions (DSD) observed during a 2-yr study in Barcelona. Thirty-second individual sample collections of drop sizes and velocities were measured with an optical ...

Abstract: AbstractIn Doppler weather radars, the presence of unfolding errors or outliers is a well-known quality issue for radial velocity fields estimated using the dual?pulse repetition frequency (PRF) technique. Postprocessing ...

Abstract: ost global circulation models and climate?chemistry models forced with increasing greenhouse gases predict a strengthening of the Brewer?Dobson circulation (BDC) in the twenty-first century, and some of them claim that ...
