Abstract: In this paper, spectral decompositions of differential reflectivity, differential phase, and copolar correlation coefficient are used to discriminate between weather and nonweather signals in the spectral domain. This ...

Abstract: This paper presents a method to retrieve raindrop size distributions (DSD) from slant profile dual-polarization Doppler spectra observations. It is shown that using radar measurements taken at a high elevation angle raindrop ...

Abstract: Raindrop size distributions are often assumed to follow a three-parameter gamma distribution. Since rain intensity retrieval from radar observations is an underdetermined problem, there is great interest in finding physical ...

Abstract: This paper presents a clutter suppression methodology for staggered pulse repetition time (PRT) observations. It is shown that spectral moments of precipitation echoes can be accurately estimated even in cases where ...

Abstract: A parametric time domain method (PTDM) for clutter mitigation and precipitation spectral moments? estimation for weather radars is introduced. Use of PTDM allows for the simultaneous estimation of clutter and precipitation ...

Abstract: Polarization properties of radar waves that are scattered from atmospheric objects are of great interest in meteorological studies. However, polarimetric radar measurements are often not sufficiently accurate for retrieving ...
