Real-Time Radar Reflectivity Calibration from Differential Phase Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n algorithm based on the self-consistency between the horizontal reflectivity ZH and the specific differential phase KDP has been devised for the calibration of the reflectivity measurements of the McGill S-band dual-polarization ...
Error Statistics of VPR Corrections in Stratiform Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Errors in surface rainfall estimates that are caused by ignoring the vertical profile of reflectivity (VPR) and range effects have been assessed by simulating how fine-resolution 3D reflectivity measurements at close ranges ...
The Case of Sharp Velocity Transitions in High Vertical Wind Shear When Measuring Doppler Velocities with Narrow Nyquist Intervals
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: n investigation was launched following unexpected observations of step-function transitions in Doppler velocities from scanning radars in regions of high vertical wind shear. It revealed that, if wind velocity transitions ...
Real-Time Comparisons of VPR-Corrected Daily Rainfall Estimates with a Gauge Mesonet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relative skill of two vertical-profile-of-reflectivity (VPR) correction techniques for daily accumulations on a selected dataset and a real-time dataset has been verified. The first technique (C1) adjusts the 1-h ...
