A Simple and Effective Method for Separating Meteorological from Nonmeteorological Targets Using Dual-Polarization Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractTo satisfy the needs of the meteorological and aeroecological communities wanting a simple but effective way of flagging each other?s unwanted echo for a variety of different operational radar systems, we evaluated ...
Real-Time Comparisons of VPR-Corrected Daily Rainfall Estimates with a Gauge Mesonet
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The relative skill of two vertical-profile-of-reflectivity (VPR) correction techniques for daily accumulations on a selected dataset and a real-time dataset has been verified. The first technique (C1) adjusts the 1-h ...
On the Extraction of Near-Surface Index of Refraction Using Radar Phase Measurements from Ground Targets
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The speed at which electromagnetic waves travel between a radar and a target is dependent on the index of refraction of the atmosphere between the radar and the target. Modern radars can have sufficiently accurate time ...
