A 94-GHz Doppler Radar for Cloud Observations
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Doppler radar operating at 3.2 mm wavelength was designed and assembled primarily for observation of clouds and precipitation. Phase detection of the radar signals which is required for Doppler operation is implemented ...
Attenuation and Scattering of Millimeter Wavelength Radiation by Clouds and Precipitation
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article is concerned with investigations of scattering and absorption of 35, 94, 140, and 240 GHz radiation by clouds and precipitation. The computations of radar reflectivity, Doppler spectra, and absorption coefficients ...
Probing of Atmospheric Motion by Airborne Pulse-Doppler Radar Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: The paper discusses the use of airborne pulse-Doppler techniques for the sensing of particle motion inside convective storms. A downward-looking beam method providing observations of particle vertical velocity distributed ...
Pulse-to-Pulse Coherent Doppler Sonar Signal Processing Techniques
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper we present and discuss techniques for the computation of the mean and spectral variance of a pulse-to-pulse coherent sonar signal, leading to the measurement of mean water velocity and turbulence. The use of ...
Probing Air Motion by Doppler Analysis of Radar Clear Air Returns
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A Doppler radar has been used in central Oklahoma to probe the motion of invisible targets usually referred to as ?angels.? The large density targets detected on certain days suggests the presence of a dense atmospheric ...
Dual-Doppler Radar Observation and Study of Sea Breeze Convective Storm Development
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This paper presents dual-Doppler radar observations and analysis of the kinematics of a convective storm which developed under sea breeze conditions over the area of Miami, Fla. The method, which is based on simultaneous ...
Mesoscale Wind Structure Revealed by Doppler Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Doppler wind soundings were taken in the lower 4.5 km of the atmosphere at 12 minute intervals during a seven hour period in a snowstorm over eastern Massachusetts. A time-height cross section of the wind revealed numerous ...
