Abstract: One of the most important avenues of recent meteorological radar research is the application of polarization techniques to improve radar rainfall estimation. A keystone in many of these methods is the so-called differential ...

Abstract: In this work, the authors present observations of enhanced temporal coherency beyond that expected using the observations of the standard deviation of the Doppler velocities and the assumption of a family of exponentially ...

Abstract: The traditional statistical description of the spatial and temporal distributions of cloud droplets and raindrops is the Poisson process, which tends to place the drops as uniformly as randomness allows. Yet, the ?clumpy? ...

Abstract: Recent studies have led to the statistical characterization of the spatial (temporal) distributions of cloud (precipitation) particles as a doubly stochastic Poisson process. This paper arrives at a similar conclusion ...

Abstract: Current understanding of the icing process through collisions between a surface and supercooled cloud droplets is based upon two factors. First, for a given temperature, when the cloud liquid water content, W, exceeds a ...

Abstract: Recent studies have led to the statistical characterization of the flux of drops of a particular size as a doubly stochastic Poisson process (Poisson mixture). Moreover, previous papers in this series show that the fluxes ...

Abstract: In past work it is argued that rain consists of patches of coherent, physical drop size distributions passing in an unpredictable fashion for an unknown duration over a sensor. This leads to the detection both of correlations ...

Abstract: For M drop size categories, rain is frequently viewed simply as the superposition of M, statistically independent Poisson-distributed drop fluxes each described by its own mean concentration. Implicit in such a Poissonian ...

Abstract: In previous work, it was argued that a source of radar coherent scatter occurs in the direction perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation because of the presence of grids of enhanced particle concentrations with ...

Abstract: The problem of efficient processing of correlated weather radar echoes off precipitation is considered. An approach based on signal whitening was recently proposed that has the potential to significantly improve power ...
