Abstract: Airborne dual-wavelength and dual-polarization radar data are analyzed for measurements taken in stratiform rain in the western Pacific during September 1990. The focus of the paper is on the vertical profiles of the linear ...

Abstract: A question arising from the recent interest in spaceborne weather radar is what methods can be used to estimate precipitation parameters from space. In this paper, dual-wavelength airborne radar data obtained from flights ...

Abstract: A range-profiling method proposed for nadir-looking rain radar has been investigated using aircraft measurements of a typhoon event at 10 and 35 GHz. In order to take into account the effects of change in the hydrometeor ...
