Fixed-Antenna Pointing-Angle Calibration of Airborne Doppler Cloud Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oppler velocity measurements from airborne meteorological Doppler radars require removal of the aircraft motion contribution in order to provide radial velocity of hydrometeor targets. This is a critical step for hydrometeor ...
The Structure of Thermals in Cumulus from Airborne Dual-Doppler Radar Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A newly developed technique for airborne dual-Doppler observations with the Wyoming Cloud Radar is used to characterize the velocity fields in vertical planes across cumulus turrets. The clouds sampled were continental in ...
Finescale Vertical Structure of a Cold Front as Revealed by an Airborne Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the afternoon of 24 May 2002, a well-defined and frontogenetic cold front moved through the Texas panhandle. Detailed observations from a series of platforms were collected near the triple point between this cold front ...
Coherent Power Measurements with a Compact Airborne Ka-Band Precipitation Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractCoherent power is an alternative to the conventional noise-subtracted power technique for measuring weather radar signal power. The inherent noise-canceling feature of coherent power eliminates the need for estimating ...
Airborne Radar Doppler Spectrum Width as a Scale-Dependent Turbulence Metric
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Snow Growth and Transport Patterns in Orographic Storms as Estimated from Airborne Vertical-Plane Dual-Doppler Radar Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: irborne vertical-plane dual-Doppler cloud radar data, collected on wind-parallel flight legs over a mountain in Wyoming during 16 winter storms, are used to analyze the growth, transport, and sedimentation of snow. In all ...
Wave-Induced Boundary Layer Separation in the Lee of the Medicine Bow Mountains. Part I: Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: wo cases of mountain waves, rotors, and the associated turbulence in the lee of the Medicine Bow Mountains in southeastern Wyoming are investigated in a two-part study using aircraft observations and numerical simulations. ...
Wave-Induced Boundary Layer Separation in the Lee of the Medicine Bow Mountains. Part II: Numerical Modeling
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: ountain waves and rotors in the lee of the Medicine Bow Mountains in southeastern Wyoming are investigated in a two-part paper. Part I by French et al. delivers a detailed observational account of two rotor events: one ...
Aircraft-Induced Hole Punch and Canal Clouds: Inadvertent Cloud Seeding
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The production of holes and channels in altocumulus clouds by two commercial turboprop aircraft is documented for the first time. An unprecedented dataset combining in situ measurements from microphysical probes with remote ...
