Abstract: Recent suggestions to use the full divergence equation and nearly continuous (in time) wind observations to retrieve the geopotential and temperature of large-scale and mesoscale (but still hydrostatic) phenomena are ...

Abstract: This paper develops a theory for the estimation of virtual temperature from remote measurements of (i) emitted thermal radiation by microwave and infrared radiometers and (ii) horizontal winds by Doppler radars (or lidars). ...

Abstract: Procedures for the estimation and correction of advection effects with single and multiple conventional and Doppler radars are developed. In the case of scalars or Cartesian vectors, the essence of the method is finding a ...

Abstract: An algorithm is proposed, whereby the combined use of the equations of cloud dynamics, and the observed wind, will permit a unique determination of the density and pressure fluctuations. The algorithm has several unique ...

Abstract: The kinematic and dynamical properties of the convective planetary boundary layer (CBL) with shear are studied using single Doppler radar measurements. The data were collected using single K-band (0.87 cm) Doppler radar ...

Abstract: A single Doppler radar analysis scheme is developed, and three-dimensional wind fields am retrieved from single Doppler radar reflectivity and radial velocity fields. The retrieval is based on two assumptions: 1) the ...

Abstract: Numerical computations of collision efficiencies and certain coalescence parameters are presented for droplet pairs with Reynolds numbers up to 104. This corresponds to radii (for 900 mb, 0C) of up to 300 ?. The superposition ...

Abstract: We examine the fidelity of one-dimensional spectra of vertical velocity derived from multiple-Doppler radar observations. For analytical tractability, we use the following assumptions: 1) the turbulent atmosphere has ...

Abstract: Thermodynamic analysis indicates, in contradiction to an earlier hypothesis, that a mixture of warm, dry air and cool, moist air on opposite sides of a dryline will have a slightly lower virtual temperature than the average ...
