Abstract: An implementation of a radio acoustic sounding system (RASS) using a UHF volume imaging radar is presented. The volume-imaging ability of the radar permits the study the spatial structure of the RASS echo observing both ...

Abstract: The technique by which interferometric radar can measure the time-varying sea surface displacement is outlined, and an experiment to test the performance of this technique is described. A high-resolution X-band imaging ...

Abstract: High spatial and temporal resolution S-band radar observations of insects in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) are described. The observations were acquired with a frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar during ...

Abstract: For many years, spatial and temporal inhomogeneities in precipitation fields have been studied using scanning radars, cloud radars, and disdrometers, for example. Each measurement technique has its own advantages and ...

Abstract: new fuzzy logic hydrometeor classification algorithm is proposed that takes into account data-based membership functions, measurement conditions, and three-dimensional temperature information provided by a high-resolution ...

Abstract: X-band and shorter radar wavelengths are preferable for mobile radar systems because a narrow beam can be realized with a moderately sized antenna. However, attenuation by precipitation becomes progressively more severe ...

Abstract: lgorithms for the retrieval of atmospheric winds in precipitating systems from downward-pointing, conically scanning airborne Doppler radars are presented. The focus is on two radars: the Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne ...

Abstract: olarimetric weather radars significantly enhance the capability to infer the properties of scatterers within a resolution volume. Previous studies have identified several consistently seen polarimetric signatures in ...

Abstract: n 4 May 2007, a supercell produced an EF-5 tornado that severely damaged the town of Greensburg, Kansas. Volumetric data were collected in the ?Greensburg storm? by the University of Massachusetts X-band, mobile, polarimetric ...

Abstract: This paper highlights recent results obtained with the Turbulent Eddy Profiler (TEP), which was developed by the University of Massachusetts. This unique 915-MHz radar has up to 64 spatially separated receiving elements, ...
