Abstract: Dual pulse repetition frequency (PRF) is a commonly used technique, in operational Doppler weather radar networks, that extends the unambiguous Doppler velocity. The technique requires the measurement of the radial velocity ...

Abstract: he effect of ship motion on shipborne polarimetric radar measurements is considered at C band. Calculations are carried out by (i) varying the ?effective? mean canting angle and (ii) separately examining the elevation ...

Abstract: The characteristics of radar echoes for 12 thunderstorm days in the vicinity of Sydney, Australia, in the summer of 1995/96 have been examined using an objective methodology for storm identification and tracking. The spatial ...

Abstract: This note builds on prior technique development related to the classification of rain types utilizing C-band polarimetric (CPOL) radar measurements. While the prior work was preliminary and limited in scope, the authors ...

Abstract: ain drop size distributions retrieved from polarimetric radar measurements over regularly occurring thunderstorms over the islands north of Darwin, Australia, are used to test if aerosol contributions to the probability ...

Abstract: Temperature profiles from the TIROS-N Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS) were combined with low-altitude virtual temperature profiles measured by a ground-based 915-MHz/2-kHz radio acoustic sounding system (RASS) at Denver, ...

Abstract: A 5-cm wavelength (C band) polarimetric radar was deployed during the MCTEX (Maritime Continent Thunderstorm Experiment) field program. This paper investigates the use of the C-band data for quantitative rainfall measurements ...

Abstract: Comparisons are made between the reflectivity Z, median volume diameter D0, and rain rate R from a dual-frequency profiler and the C-band polarimetric radar (C-POL), which are both located near Darwin, Australia. Examples ...

Abstract: The sensitivity of polarimetric variables at a 5-cm wavelength to raindrop size and axial ratio is examined using T-matrix modeling of the scattering process for gamma raindrop size distributions fitted to tropical rainfall ...

Abstract: The Australian Bureau of Meteorology has constructed a new 1280-MHz radar wind profiler. Key features include a state-of-the-art digital transceiver system and modern peak detection algorithms for obtaining high quality ...
