Abstract: Applications of VHF and UHF Doppler radars to research in synoptic meteorology are reviewed. We find that these radars show great potential for studies of large scales, but the area of research where the instruments really ...

Abstract: We compare observations of thunderstorms made with two radars operating at different wavelengths of 70 cm and 5.67 m. The first set of observations was made with the UHF radar at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, and ...

Abstract: The Doppler method for radar wind profiling of the troposphere and stratosphere has been the standard technique used for operational and most research applications of the instrumentation. An alternative approach for measuring ...

Abstract: Atmospheric backscatter or partial reflections observed with VHF radars are strongly enhanced for angles within a few degrees of the vertical, although the strongest echoes are not necessarily exactly from the vertical ...

Abstract: Observations of the horizontal wind in the subtropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere were made with the 430-MHz radar located at Arecibo, Puerto Rico (18.4°N), in May 1982 and April 1983. Both sets of observations ...

Abstract: We present power spectra of vertical velocities measured with the SOUSY-VHF-Radax wind profiler.over a 5-day period in October and November 1981. Most of the data consist of hourly vertical velocity profiles based on 12-rain ...

Abstract: Very high frequency (VHF) Doppler radar measurements of the horizontal and vertical winds are used to examine three procedures to extract mean profiles of horizontal and vertical winds. These are 1) time averaging of ...

Abstract: We Present a comparison of vertical velocity data obtained with the SOUSY-VHF-Radar operating near Bad Lauterberg in West Germany and the vertical velocities produced by the operational analysis of the European Centre for ...
