Sensitivity Calibration of a Dual-Beam Vertically Pointing FM-CW Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A method of calibrating a fixed vertically pointing radar is presented. The technique involves the firing of B-B shot of known radar cross section through the beam while making successive trajectory corrections until the ...
ON THE AGGREGATION OF ICE CRYSTALS TO FORM SNOW
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Manipulation of spheres of ice and observations of ice crystals colliding with a fixed crystal under conditions of controlled temperature and vapor pressure have been employed to determine the limiting conditions for the ...
An Analytical Study of Tropospheric Structure as Seen by High-Resolution Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In the present paper, atmospheric structure revealed by a high-resolution FM/CW radar sounder is compared with hypothetical models of internal wave structure and convection. Special attention is given to the distribution ...
Concurrent FM-CW Radar and Lidar Observations of the Boundary Layer
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Boundary layer probing by multiple remote sensors can greatly improve the understanding of processes in this complex region. For this purpose one needs to know the unique information each individual sensor can provide. Two ...
The MATERHORN: Unraveling the Intricacies of Mountain Weather
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: merging application areas such as air pollution in megacities, wind energy, urban security, and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles have intensified scientific and societal interest in mountain meteorology. To address ...
