RISA Tropical Squall Line Observed during the COPT 81 Experiment in West Africa. Part II: Water Budget
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relative contributions of the different processes involved in the water budget of the 22 June 1981 tropical squall line are investigated. The kinematic and thermodynamic fields derived from Doppler radar data are used ...
A Tropical Squall Line Observed during the COPT 81 Experiment in West Africa. Part III: Heat and Moisture Budgets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The role of moist convective processes in the heat and moisture budgets of the 22 June 1981 tropical squall line is investigated. Detailed kinematic structure from Doppler radar observations, and thermodynamic and microphysical ...
A Formulation of the Continuity Equation of MUSCAT for either Flat or Complex Terrain
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The Mesoscale Alpine Programme (MAP) involved an ensemble of airborne and ground-based Doppler radars dedicated to the observation of precipitating systems over the Alps. The derivation of the three-dimensional wind fields ...
A Mesovortex within a Near-Equatorial Mesoscale Convective System during TOGA COARE
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Airborne Doppler radar observations are used to investigate the internal structure of a midlevel mesovortex that developed within the rear part of the stratiform precipitation region of a mature-to-decaying mesoscale ...
Monitoring the Performance of the ECMWF Operational Analysis Using the Enhanced TOGA COARE Observational Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An enhanced atmospheric monitoring effort has been set up during the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) of the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE), devoted to better describe the ocean-atmosphere system ...
Extended Overdetermined Dual-Doppler Formalism in Synthesizing Airborne Doppler Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the intensive observing period of the field phase of the Coupled Ocean?Atmosphere Response Experiment (COARE) of the Tropical Oceans and Global Atmosphere (TOGA) program, airborne Doppler radars capable of fore?aft ...
Three-Dimensional Air Circulation in a Squall Line from Airborne Dual-Beam Doppler Radar Data: A Test of Coplane Methodology Software
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The detailed structure of a tropical squall line observed in central Florida was investigated from an airborne dual-beam Doppler radar, pointing respectively fore and aft. This allowed dual-Doppler observations from a ...
A Multiple-Doppler Synthesis and Continuity Adjustment Technique (MUSCAT) to Recover Wind Components from Doppler Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new approach is presented to account for a simultaneous solution of the three wind components from at least a pair of Doppler radar observations, which could remove potential drawbacks of an iterative (nonsimultaneous) ...
A Variational Correction Method as an Alternative to Forced Rejection of Sidelobe-Contaminated Bistatic Doppler Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The problem of sidelobe contamination of bistatic apparent Doppler velocity measurements involved in a bistatic Doppler radar network is examined. So far in the context of 3D wind field analysis, by combining a traditional ...
Radar Observations and Numerical Modeling of a Precipitating Line during MAP IOP 5
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: During the special observing period of the Mesoscale Alpine Programme, a narrow north?south-oriented frontal precipitation band was observed by two airborne and one operational Doppler radar on 4 October 1999, over the ...
