An Analysis of Depolarization of Circular Polarization in S-Band Radar Sensing of Alberta Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: An analysis is given of storm events in 1982?85 in which the Alberta Research Council circularly polarized polarization diversity S-band radar recorded data indicating significant depolarization. The accompanying two-way ...
Separation of Propagation and Backscattering Effects in Rain for Circular Polarization Diversity S-Band Radars
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Because precipitation particles are generally nonspherical, not only will microwave radiation be depolarized when reflected by precipitation, but also the polarization state of the transmitted wave will change as the radar ...
Dual-Doppler Lidar Measurements for Improving Dispersion Models
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Dispersion of pollutants in the urban atmosphere is a subject that is presently under much investigation. In this paper the variables used in turbulent dispersion and plume rise schemes of the Met Office Nuclear Accident ...
