Abstract: he instability characteristics associated with different radar-derived mesoscale organization modes are examined using six cool seasons of operational scanning radar data near Portland, Oregon, and operational sounding ...

Abstract: AbstractClear-air Bragg scatter (CABS) is a refractivity gradient return generated by turbulent eddies that operational Weather Surveillance Radar-1988 Doppler (WSR-88D) systems can detect. The randomly oriented nature of ...

Abstract: AbstractStudies have shown that echo returns from clear-air Bragg scatter (CABS) can be used to detect the height of the convective boundary layer and to assess the systematic differential reflectivity (ZDR) bias for a ...
