Abstract: First results derived from an NSSL effort to develop a real-time Plan Position Indicator (PPI) display of Doppler isotachs are described. The mean Doppler velocity is estimated for multiple range locations by measuring the ...

Abstract: Probert-Jones' radar equation assumes receiver bandwidth large compared to the reciprocal of the transmitted pulse width τ. The advent of coherent radars with precise transmitter frequencies allows consideration of receiver ...

Abstract: In this note we propose a technique to uncouple the tie between unambiguous Doppler velocity and range. Transmission of orthogonally polarized waves in pairs of pulses increases a weather Doppler radar's capability to ...

Abstract: A perturbation method is applied to spheroidal oscillating drops to determine the effect of fundamental axisymmetric oscillations on the power spectra and polarimetric measurements. It is shown that vibration magnitudes ...

Abstract: Methods of statistical regression have been applied to single-radar radial velocity fields to map certain mesoscale (20?100 km) kinematic properties (e.g., divergence) of the convective boundary layer (CBL). Several methods, ...

Abstract: Dual Doppler-radars are used to obtain momentum flux and turbulence intensities in the cloudless convective boundary-layer (CBL) containing roll vortices. Momentum flux from small scales unresolved by the radar is determined ...

Abstract: Data show that Doppler shift of storm echoes and the range extent of severe storm systems encompass a span exceeding the unambiguous resolving capability of centimetric radars. Echo coherency which is related to Doppler ...

Abstract: It has been demonstrated through simulations that the SZ phase code method of mitigating range ambiguities has a performance that exceeds any other known phase-coding scheme. This paper describes an implementation of this ...

Abstract: Velocity-azimuth display (VAD) products (i.e., wind, divergence, deformations, etc.) and a Lagrangian advective scheme applied to the reflectivity factor field are jointly used to estimate vertical profiles of vorticity. ...

Abstract: A case-study comparison is made of simultaneous airborne gust probe and dual-Doppler radar measurements of motions associated with roll vortices in the optically clear planetary boundary layer. Inter-comparison of the ...
