Abstract: Reflectivity data from the airborne radar systems on board the three NOAA aircraft were gathered during six consecutive days in Hurricane Allen of 1980. The data have been used to specify the horizontal and vertical ...

Abstract: The authors present an improved version of the velocity track display (VTD) method, proposed by Lee et al., to deduce the primary vortex circulation in hurricanes from airborne Doppler radar data obtained during straightline ...

Abstract: A pulse-Doppler radar on board a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) WP-3D research aircraft has been used to map the wind field in the vicinity of the developing eye wall of Hurricane Debby, which ...

Abstract: Airborne Doppler radar measurements are used to determine the horizontal winds, vertical air motions, radar reflectivity and hydrometer fallspeeds over much of the inner-core region (within 40 km of the eye) of Hurricane ...

Abstract: This paper is the second of a series and focuses on developing an algorithm to objectively identify tropical cyclone (TC) vorticity centers using single-Doppler radar data. The first paper dealt with the formulation of a ...

Abstract: Features seen in aerial and satellite photographs of the inside edge of the eyewall of Hurricane Diana (1984) are compared with features seen in digitized three-dimensional airborne radar reflectivity data. The photographs ...

Abstract: Precipitation patterns have been analyzed for six wintertime storms in New England where coastal fronts developed and for two without coastal fronts. In all of the storms the predominant precipitation features, as observed ...

Abstract: AbstractTo determine how well a low-order wavenumber representation describes a hurricane wind speed field, given its natural variability in space and time, low-order wavenumber representations were calculated for hourly ...

Abstract: The Fifth Prospectus Development Team of the U.S. Weather Research Program was charged to identify and delineate emerging research opportunities relevant to the prediction of local weather, flooding, and coastal ocean ...
