An Opportunity for Long-Distance Oceanographic and Meteorological Monitoring Using Over-the-Horizon Defense Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Ocean-monitoring tasks can be added to military over-the-horizon radars at modest incremental cost. A surface-wind-direction analysis for the Caribbean made with a U.S. Navy radar illustrates one capability of such a system. ...
Infrasound from Convective Storms. Part IV. Is It Useful for Storm Warning?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An experiment was carried out to collect statistics on the observability of severe-storm infrasound at three stations during the 1973 storm season. The results have been evaluated with the help of four ?indices of usefulness?: ...
Application of Over-the-Horizon Radar Observations to Synoptic and Mesoanalysis over the Atlantic
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Over-the-horizon (OTH) radar observations of surface wind direction offer a high-resolution (15 km) resource for synoptic and mesoscale wind field analysis. With horizontal resolution at the lower end of the mesoscale and ...
Tracking Hurricane Claudette with the U.S. Air Force Over-the-Horizon Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Hurricane Claudette was successfully tracked for three days using the 2-s (7 m) surface wave direction field mapped by the U.S. Air Force OTH-B over-the-horizon radar 2400 km away on the coast of Maine. Inflow and fine ...
