Abstract: Weather radar wind profiles (WRWPs) have been retrieved from Doppler volume scans using different implementations of the velocity?azimuth display (VAD) and volume velocity processing (VVP) methods. An extensive quality ...

Abstract: A method to determine the elevation and azimuth biases of the radar antenna using solar signals observed by a scanning radar is presented. Data recorded at low elevation angles where the atmospheric refraction has a ...

Abstract: The dual pulse repetition frequency (dual PRF) technique for extension of the unambiguous velocity interval is available on many operational Doppler weather radars. Radial velocity data obtained from a C-band Doppler radar ...

Abstract: Weather radars give quantitative precipitation estimates over large areas with high spatial and temporal resolutions not achieved by conventional rain gauge networks. Therefore, the derivation and analysis of a radar-based ...

Abstract: tional weather radar network in Europe covers more than 30 countries and contains more than 200 weather radars. The radar network is heterogeneous in hardware, signal processing, transmit/receive frequency, and scanning ...

Abstract: Wind profiles from an operational C-band Doppler radar have been combined with data from a bird tracking radar to assess the wind profile quality during bird migration. The weather radar wind profiles (WRWPs) are retrieved ...

Abstract: In this paper the construction of real-time integrated water vapor (IWV) maps from a surface network of global positioning system (GPS) receivers is presented. The IWV maps are constructed using a two-dimensional variational ...

Abstract: A method for the daily monitoring of the differential reflectivity bias for polarimetric weather radars is presented. Sun signals detected in polar volume data produced during operational scanning of the radar are used. ...

Abstract: A method for operational monitoring of a weather radar receiving chain, including the antenna gain and the receiver, is presented. The ?online? method is entirely based on the analysis of sun signals in the polar volume ...
