Should Interpolation of Radar Reflectivity be Performed in Z or dBZ?
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractInterpolation of ground-based radar measurements is required when mapping data from their native spherical coordinates to a Cartesian grid. For reflectivity the question arises as to whether this processing should ...
Real-Time Monitoring of Weather Radar Network Calibration and Antenna Pointing
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Optimization of Dynamic Retrievals from a Multiple-Doppler Radar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: Recently, Protat and Zawadzki described an analysis method to retrieve the three wind components and their temporal derivatives from measurements collected by a bistatic multiple-Doppler radar network deployed around ...
A Variational Method for Real-Time Retrieval of Three-Dimensional Wind Field from Multiple-Doppler Bistatic Radar Network Data
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: A variational method for the retrieval of the 3D wind field from bistatic multiple-Doppler radar network data is developed, and its performance is evaluated. This bistatic network consists of one S-band weather radar and ...
The Accuracy of Radar Estimates of Ice Terminal Fall Speed from Vertically Pointing Doppler Radar Measurements
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: oppler radar measurements at different frequencies (50 and 2835 MHz) are used to characterize the terminal fall speed of hydrometeors and the vertical air motion in tropical ice clouds and to evaluate statistical methods ...
Clouds over the Southern Ocean as Observed from the R/V Investigator during CAPRICORN. Part I: Cloud Occurrence and Phase Partitioning
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe properties of clouds derived using a suite of remote sensors on board the Australian research vessel (R/V) Investigator during the 5-week Clouds, Aerosols, Precipitation, Radiation, and Atmospheric Composition ...
Clouds over the Southern Ocean as Observed from the R/V Investigator during CAPRICORN. Part II: The Properties of Nonprecipitating Stratocumulus
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: AbstractThe properties of clouds derived from measurements collected using a suite of remote sensors on board the Australian R/V Investigator during a 5-week voyage into the Southern Ocean during March and April 2016 are ...
Global and Regional Patterns in High Ice Water Content Conditions

The Effect of Radial Velocity Gridding Artifacts on Variationally Retrieved Vertical Velocities
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: This article investigates the source and impact of artifacts produced by ordered linear interpolation techniques on variationally retrieved updraft intensities. Qualitative reasoning for the generation of periodic perturbations ...
Kinematic and Thermodynamic Study of a Shallow Hailstorm Sampled by the McGill Bistatic Multiple-Doppler Radar Network
Publisher: American Meteorological Society
Abstract: In this paper, the authors examine the kinematic and thermodynamic characteristics of a shallow hailstorm sampled by the McGill bistatic multiple-Doppler radar network on 26 May 1997. This storm consists of two main shallow ...
