Using Spectral Moment Data from NOAA's 404-MHz Radar Wind Profilers to Observe Precipitation

Source: Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society:;1995:;volume( 076 ):;issue: 010:;page 1717

Author(s): Ralph, F. M.; Neiman, P. J.; van de Kamp, D. W.; Law, D. C.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A brief description is given of NOAA's 404-MHz WindProfiler Demonstration Network (WPDN), including the radarconfiguration, sampling strategy, site locations andcharacteristics, and a discussion of the Doppler power ...

Effects of Small-Scale Vertical Motion on Radar Measurements of Wind and Temperature Profiles

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;1992:;volume( 009 ):;issue: 003:;page 193

Author(s): Weber, B. L.; Wuertz, D. B.; Law, D. C.; Frisch, A. S.; Brown, J. M.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: Vertical velocities were observed during the month of June 1990 with two side-by-side wind profilers at Platteville, Colorado. Many of the observations reveal strong wave motion, probably mountain lee waves, that sometimes ...

Temperature Sounding with Wind Profiler Radars

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;1991:;volume( 008 ):;issue: 004:;page 606

Author(s): Moran, K. P.; Wuertz, D. B.; Strauch, R. G.; Abshire, N. L.; Law, D. C.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: A network of 31 radar wind profilers is being installed in the central United States by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The radars are expected to measure the vertical profile of horizontal and ...

An Electronically Stabilized Phased Array System for Shipborne Atmospheric Wind Profiling

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;2002:;volume( 019 ):;issue: 006:;page 924

Author(s): Law, D. C.; McLaughlin, S. A.; Post, M. J.; Weber, B. L.; Welsh, D. C.; Wolfe, D. E.; Merritt, D. A.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The design, construction, and first results are presented of a 915-MHz Doppler wind profiler that may be mounted on a moving platform such as a mobile land vehicle, ocean buoy, or a ship. The long dwell times in multiple ...

Preliminary Evaluation of the First NOAA Demonstration Network Wind Profiler

Source: Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Technology:;1990:;volume( 007 ):;issue: 006:;page 909

Author(s): Weber, B. L.; Wuertz, D. B.; Strauch, R. G.; Merritt, D. A.; Moran, K. P.; Law, D. C.; van de Kamp, D.; Chadwick, R. B.; Ackley, M. H.; Barth, M. F.; Abshire, N. L.; Miller, P. A.; Schlatter, T. W.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: The first wind profiler for a demonstration network of wind profilers recently passed the milestone of 300 h of continuous operation. The horizontal wind component measurements taken during that period are compared with ...
