Abstract: Methods of statistical regression have been applied to single-radar radial velocity fields to map certain mesoscale (20?100 km) kinematic properties (e.g., divergence) of the convective boundary layer (CBL). Several methods, ...

Abstract: Principal component (PC) analysis performed on irregularly spaced data can produce distorted loading patterns. We provide an example to demonstrate some distorted patterns which can result from the direct application of ...

Abstract: Advances in clear air Doppler radar measurement have made practical the monitoring of radial velocities in the troposphere and lower stratosphere and even the vector wind, under some assumptions. Because the objective of ...

Abstract: Snowstorms generated over the Great Lakes bring localized heavy precipitation, blizzard conditions, and whiteouts to downwind shores. Hazardous freezing rain often affects the same region in winter. Conventional observations ...
