Author(s): Tsuda, T.; Inoue, T.; Kato, S.; Fukao, S.; Fritts, D. C.; VanZandt, T. E.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: We present vertical wavenumber spectra of mesoscale wind fluctuations using data observed in the troposphere, lower stratosphere and mesosphere by the MU radar at 35°N in Japan in October 1986 and June 1987, as well as ...

A Comparison of VHF Radar Vertical-Velocity Measurements by a Direct Vertical-Beam Method and by a VAD Technique

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;1991:;volume( 008 ):;issue: 006:;page 766

Author(s): Larsen, M. F.; Fukao, S.; Aruga, O.; Yamanaka, M. D.; Tsuda, T.; Kato, S.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Vertical-velocity measurements made by a direct vertical-beam method are compared to vertical velocities derived from VAD (velocity-azimuth display) measurements over a 27-h period. The results indicate that the two types ...

Observations of a Reversal in Long-Term Average Vertical Velocities near the Jet Stream Wind Maximum

Source: Monthly Weather Review:;1990:;volume( 119 ):;issue: 006:;page 1479

Author(s): Fukao, S.; Larsen, M. F.; Yamanaka, M. D.; Furukawa, H.; Tsuda, T.; Kato, S.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Analysis of vertical velocity measurements made for four days each month over the period from 1986 to 1988 by the MU radar in Japan shows a reversal in direction near the peak in the zonal wind profile during the winter ...

Studies of Velocity Fluctuations in the Lower Atmosphere Using the MU Radar. Part I: Azimuthal Anisotropy

Source: Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences:;1989:;Volume( 047 ):;issue: 001:;page 39

Author(s): VanZandt, T. E.; Smith, S. A.; Tsuda, T.; Sato, T.; Fukao, S.; Kato, S.; Fritts, D. C.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: We present in this paper a study of the azimuthal anisotropy of the motion field observed during a six-day campaign in March 1986 using the MU radar in Shigaraki, Japan. The radial wind velocity was observed at 20° zenith ...

An Analysis Technique for Deriving Vector Winds and In-Beam Incidence Angles from Radar Interferometer Measurements

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;1992:;volume( 009 ):;issue: 001:;page 3

Author(s): Larsen, M. F.; Palmer, R. D.; Fukao, S.; Woodman, R. F.; Yamamoto, M.; Tsuda, T.; Kato, S.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: We present a method for deriving horizontal velocities, vertical velocities, and in-beam incidence angles from radar interferometer data. All parameters are calculated from the slope and intercept of straight lines fitted ...
