Dealiasing Doppler Velocities Measured by a Bistatic Radar Network during a Downburst-Producing Thunderstorm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The object of this paper was to develop an automated dealiasing scheme that dealiases Doppler velocities measured by a bistatic Doppler radar network. The particular network consists of the C-band polarimetric diversity ...
Evaluation of Wind Vectors Measured by a Bistatic Doppler Radar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: By installing and linking additional receivers to a monostatic Doppler radar, several wind components can be measured and combined into a wind vector field. Such a bistatic Doppler radar network was developed in 1993 by ...
Wind Synthesis and Quality Control of Multiple-Doppler-Derived Horizontal Wind Fields
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Horizontal wind vector fields can be measured in real time by a bistatic Doppler radar network and can be applied directly for hazard warnings and weather surveillance. Most applications, however, especially for meteorological ...
Dynamic and Thermodynamic Predictors of Vertical Structure in Radar-Observed Regional Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: adar-observed vertical structure of precipitation as defined by contoured frequency by altitude diagrams (CFADs) is related to dynamic and thermodynamic environmental parameters. CFADs from 559 storms occurring over the ...
Seasonality of Vertical Structure in Radar-Observed Precipitation over Southern Switzerland
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: perational radar data reveal that precipitation systems occurring on the southern side of the Alps near Locarno, Switzerland, follow seasonal patterns of vertical reflectivity structure. Storms occurring in summer are more ...
Relationship between Radar-Estimated Precipitation and Synoptic Weather Patterns in the European Alps
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: 9-yr (2000?08) analysis of precipitation characteristics for the central and western European Alps has been generated from ground-based operational weather radar data provided by the Swiss radar network. The radar-based ...
Model-Based Estimation of Dynamic Effect on Twenty-First-Century Precipitation for Swiss River Basins
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: rojections of twenty-first-century precipitation for seven Swiss river basins are generated by linking high-resolution (2 km ? 2 km) radar-estimated precipitation observations to a global climate model (GCM) via synoptic ...
Influence of Ground Clutter Contamination on Polarimetric Radar Parameters
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The influence of ground clutter contamination on the estimation of polarimetric radar parameters, horizontal reflectivity (Zh), differential reflectivity (Zdr), correlation coefficient (?h?), and differential propagation ...
A Quality Control Concept for Radar Reflectivity, Polarimetric Parameters, and Doppler Velocity
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over the last few years the use of weather radar data has become a fundamental part of various applications like rain-rate estimation, nowcasting of severe weather events, and assimilation into numerical weather prediction ...
