Abstract: Observations of mammatus-like cloud features associated with a convective rain shower were obtained using a vertically pointing 8-mm-wavelength Doppler radar. The radar's excellent sensitivity and resolution allowed even ...

Abstract: Radar reflectivity factors determined from disdrometer measurements of drop spectra are compared with simultaneous WSR-57 radar measurements in two Oklahoma thunderstorms. The possibility of using a disdrometer for an ...

Abstract: Continuous vertically pointing measurements of a thunderstorm outflow, including its gust front, were obtained with a Doppler radar near New Salem, North Dakota. The measurements provide a high-resolution depiction of the ...

Abstract: Measurements of wind from a network of surface anemometers and a 107 m tower have been analyzed for southern Wyoming where a project for large-scale generation of electricity from wind power is underway. Topographically ...

Abstract: An integrated analysis of photographic and Doppler radar observations of a tornadic storm during the Convection Initiation and Downburst Experiment (CINDE) is presented. High-resolution single-Doppler radar measurements ...

Abstract: Data from the hailpad network of the National Hail Research Experiment were examined in relation to the equivalent radar reflectivity factors recorded in the lowest level sweeps of the radar beam over the pads during ...

Abstract: Recent studies have demonstrated that the 404-MHz wind profilers of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration WPDN (Wind Profiler Demonstration Network) can detect precipitation under most circumstances. Their ...

Abstract: The radar reflectivity factors, the reflectivity-weighted mean terminal velocities (VT), and the standard deviations (σv) of the resulting Doppler spectra, were computed for specified size distributions of rain, dry and ...

Abstract: Questions of delivery, transport, and dispersion of cloud seeding aerosol in a convective feeder cloud are addressed by using radar chaff as a surrogate for aerosol and tracking it with circular-polarization radar. In a ...

Abstract: A strong elevated temperature inversion in a landfalling winter storm in northern California produced two simultaneous melting layers with associated radar bright bands. The storm was observed with scanning and profiling ...
