A Potential Source of Bias in Horizontal Winds Estimated Using a 915-MHz Acoustically Enhanced Profiler
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Clear-air Doppler wind profilers perform poorly in dry, calm conditions when reflectivities are low. One solution to this problem is to use acoustic waves, generated by a collocated acoustic source, as the scattering target ...
Removing Ground and Intermittent Clutter Contamination from Wind Profiler Signals Using Wavelet Transforms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: New algorithms for removing ground and intermittent clutter contamination from wind profiler data are presented. The techniques use wavelet transforms to ?filter? the contribution of clutter to the wind profiler signals. ...
On the Conditional Frazil Ice Instability in Seawater
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: t has been suggested that the presence of frazil ice can lead to a conditional instability in seawater. Any frazil forming in the water column reduces the bulk density of a parcel of frazil?seawater mixture, causing it to ...
Extending the Dynamic Range of an S-Band Radar for Cloud and Precipitation Studies
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A new S-band vertical profiler with a coupler option for extending the dynamic range of the radar?s receiver is discussed. The added dynamic range allows the profiler to record radar reflectivity measurements in moderate ...
The NOAA FM-CW Snow-Level Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractA vertically pointing radar for monitoring radar brightband height (BBH) has been developed. This new radar utilizes frequency-modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) techniques to provide high-resolution data at a ...
