Abstract: The paper deals with a diagnostic study of the three-dimensional kinematic and dynamic structure of the Harrah tornadic storm. Wind fields were computed from data collected over a 28 min interval in four dual-Doppler radar ...

Abstract: This paper discusses multiple-Doppler radar observations of a non-severe Illinois thunderstorm occurring on 29 May 1978. The vertical wind shear was fairly rectilinear on this day with the storm motion being related to the ...

Abstract: The horizontal wind and reflectivity fields in a tornadic storm are investigated with dual-Doppler radar. Emphasis is placed on a statistical objective analysis technique of the Eddy-Gandin type for determining these fields ...

Abstract: Vertical incidence Doppler radar observations of an evaporating ice crystal cloud revealed many multimodal Doppler spectra, with modes often separated by more than 1 m s?1, and unusually large variances. The observations ...

Abstract: This paper presents a case study of the structure of a warm frontal region as deduced from Doppler radar observations. The precipitation occurring ahead of the surface warm front was banded. The dominant precipitation bands ...

Abstract: This paper presents an analysis of the uncertainties expected in vertical velocities using a vertically pointing airborne Doppler radar which has a nadir or zenith-pointing beam. To examine the expected uncertainty, the ...

Abstract: A simple nomogram technique to facilitate dual Doppler radar data collection is presented. Equations and nomograms are developed for relating the position of a given target relative to two radars. The results are general, ...

Abstract: Passive microwave observations using the Special Sensor Microwave/Imager are presented for severe tornadic storms in the lower midwestern United States on 16 November 1987. These measurements are compared with Geostationary ...

Abstract: Observations of an isolated group of Oklahoma thunderstorms from NASA's high altitude ER-2 aircraft are presented. These observations include passive radiometric measurements at frequencies in the microwave (92, 183 GHz), ...

Abstract: A squall line on 2 May 1979 developed in Oklahoma in proximity to a synoptic-scale cold front. This line is analyzed during its growth and mature periods using radar, satellite, sounding and surface data. Some of the cells ...
