Abstract: tmospheric refractivity depends on meteorological parameters such as temperature, water vapor pressure, and air pressure and can be measured using weather radar. This could be useful for convection prediction through the ...

Abstract: A polarimetric method is devised to correct for attenuation effects at C band on reflectivity ZH and differential reflectivity ZDR measurements. An operational cross-correlation analysis is used to derive advection vectors ...

Abstract: The recent deployment of an innovative triple pulse rise time (PRT) scheme within the French operational radar network allows for the simultaneous collection of reflectivity and radial velocity measurements up to a range ...

Abstract: A fuzzy logic algorithm has been developed for the purpose of segregating precipitating from nonprecipitating echoes using polarimetric radar observations at C band. Adequate polarimetric descriptions for each type of ...

Abstract: The French operational radar network is being upgraded and expanded from 2002 to 2006 by Meteo-France in partnership with the French Ministry of the Environment. A detailed examination of the quality of the raw polarimetric ...

Abstract: efractivity measurements in the boundary layer by precipitation radar could be useful for convection prediction. Until now such measurements have only been performed by coherent radars, but European weather radars are ...

Abstract: Rain path attenuation correction is a challenging task for quantitative use of weather radar measurements at frequencies higher than S band. The proportionality relationship between specific attenuation αhh (specific ...

Abstract: A full radar simulator for high-resolution (1?5 km) nonhydrostatic models has been developed within the research nonhydrostatic mesoscale atmospheric (Meso-NH) model. This simulator is made up of building blocks, each of ...
