Abstract: Development of a computer program to control and acquire data with meteorological research radars is described. The performance goals for the program are enumerated, and the implementation techniques to achieve these goals ...

Abstract: ARCHER is a computer expert system that attempts to identify meteorological phenomena from their signatures on Doppler radar. Probabilities that phenomena under study could be any one of a number of possible meteorological ...

Abstract: A new method for studying the entrainment of air into clouds has been developed and tested, and initial results demonstrating the technique are presented here. This new method is superior to other chaff techniques that ...

Abstract: We report on radar observations of a plume of microwave-reflecting chaff. The chaff was released from the top of a 300 m tower and observed as it was blown 18 km downwind through the growing boundary layer. We present the ...

Abstract: Project CONDORS (CONvective Diffusion Observed by Remote Sensors) measured the dispersion of a nonbuoyant plume in the highly convective boundary layer. Laboratory and numerical models have predicted vertical profiles of ...

Abstract: A pulse Doppler radar system operating at 35 GHz and having full polarization (linear and circular) diversity capability is described. Separate antennas are used for the transmitter and the receiver because this design ...

Abstract: During the summer of 1989, the Forecast Systems Laboratory of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration sponsored an evaluation of artificial-intelligence-based systems that forecast severe convective storms. The ...
