Abstract: n this study, unusual radar anomalous propagation (AP) phenomena associated with foehn winds induced by Typhoon Krosa (2007) were documented by using observations from radar, surface stations, and soundings. The AP echoes ...

Abstract: A tropical cyclone (TC) eye tracking (TCET) algorithm is presented in this study to objectively identify and track the eye and center of a tropical cyclone using radar reflectivity data. Twelve typhoon cases were studied ...

Abstract: omplex terrain poses challenges to the ground-based radar quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) because of partial or total blockages of radar beams in the lower tilts. Reflectivities from higher tilts are often used ...

Abstract: This paper is the third of a series that focuses on the applications of the ground-based velocity track display (GBVTD) technique and the GBVTD-simplex center finding algorithm developed in the previous two papers to a ...

Abstract: Three years? worth of radar reflectivity data from four radars in an area of complex terrain (Taiwan) from 2005 to 2007 were analyzed and a reflectivity climatology was developed. The climatology was applied in the ...

Abstract: Deducing the three-dimensional primary circulation of landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) from single ground-based Doppler radar data remains a difficult task. The evolution and structure of landfalling TCs and their ...

Abstract: The spatial and temporal characteristics and distributions of thunderstorms in Taiwan during the warm season (May?October) from 2005 to 2008 and under weak synoptic-scale forcing are documented using radar reflectivity, ...

Abstract: o improve the accuracy of quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) in complex terrain, a new rainfall rate estimation algorithm has been developed and applied on two C-band dual-polarization radars in Taiwan. In this ...
