Abstract: Results on the transmission loss of a dry and a wet C-band weather radar radome at different rain intensities are presented. Two methods were used in the study, both carried out under laboratory conditions. In the first ...

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: 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: Based on the measurement principles used on incoherent scatter radars, the authors have developed the Simultaneous Multiple Pulse Repetition Frequency (SMPRF) code that is intended to solve the range?Doppler dilemma and ...

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 ...

Abstract: method for the operational monitoring of the weather radar antenna mechanics and signal processing is presented. The method is based on the analysis of sun signals in the polar volume data produced during the operational ...

Abstract: ireless technology, such as local area telecommunication networks and surveillance cameras, causes severe interference for weather radars because they use the same operational radio frequencies. One or two disturbances can ...
