In the Eye of the Storm
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
A Mobile, Phased-Array Doppler Radar for the Study of Severe Convective Storms
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A mobile X-band, phased-array Doppler radar was acquired from the U.S. Army by the Center for Interdisciplinary Remotely Piloted Aircraft Studies (CIRPAS) at the Naval Postgraduate School and adapted for meteorological use ...
Retrieval of Vertical Air Motion in Precipitating Clouds Using Mie Scattering and Comparison with In Situ Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: or the first time, the Mie notch retrieval technique is applied to airborne cloud Doppler radar observations in warm precipitating clouds to retrieve the vertical air velocity profile above the aircraft. The retrieval ...
Airborne Rain-Rate Measurement with a Wide-Swath Radar Altimeter
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: he NOAA Wide-Swath Radar Altimeter (WSRA) uses 80 narrow beams spread over ±30° in the cross-track direction to generate raster lines of sea surface topography at a 10-Hz rate from which sea surface directional wave spectra ...
Reexamining the Vertical Development of Tornadic Vortex Signatures in Supercells
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: bservations from a hybrid phased-array Doppler radar, the Mobile Weather Radar, 2005 X-band, Phased Array (MWR-05XP), were used to investigate the vertical development of tornadic vortex signatures (TVSs) during supercell ...
Mobile, Phased-Array, Doppler Radar Observations of Tornadoes at X Band
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: mobile, phased-array Doppler radar, the Mobile Weather Radar, 2005 X-band, Phased Array (MWR-05XP), has been used since 2007 to obtain data in supercells and tornadoes. Rapidly updating, volumetric data of tornadic vortex ...
Observations of the Boundary Layer near Tornadoes and in Supercells Using a Mobile, Collocated, Pulsed Doppler Lidar and Radar
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: uring the Second Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2), in the spring of 2010, a mobile and pulsed Doppler lidar system [the Truck-Mounted Wind Observing Lidar Facility (TWOLF)] mounted ...
