Abstract: Microbursts continue to pose a serious problem to the aviation industry. Fortunately, Doppler weather radars are capable of detecting microbursts quite successfully. This study gives the results of a comparison of 84 ...

Abstract: Freezing rain is commonly caused by overrunning. The typical atmospheric structure and precipitation patterns associated with overrunning and freezing rain suggest a general association between 1) a bright band and 2) a ...

Abstract: Microburst rotation can be determined by measuring the difference in azimuths between the maximum approaching and maximum receding velocity centers on a Doppler radar. Nonrotating microbursts would have these centers exactly ...
