Abstract: Measurements of the vertical structure of the troposphere were carried out using a VHF radar during the passage of a warm front. The radar records indicated a descent of layers of enhanced humidity and temperature variations ...

Abstract: Applications of VHF and UHF Doppler radars to research in synoptic meteorology are reviewed. We find that these radars show great potential for studies of large scales, but the area of research where the instruments really ...

Abstract: We compare observations of thunderstorms made with two radars operating at different wavelengths of 70 cm and 5.67 m. The first set of observations was made with the UHF radar at the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, and ...

Abstract: The Doppler method for radar wind profiling of the troposphere and stratosphere has been the standard technique used for operational and most research applications of the instrumentation. An alternative approach for measuring ...

Abstract: Atmospheric backscatter or partial reflections observed with VHF radars are strongly enhanced for angles within a few degrees of the vertical, although the strongest echoes are not necessarily exactly from the vertical ...

Abstract: We Present a comparison of vertical velocity data obtained with the SOUSY-VHF-Radar operating near Bad Lauterberg in West Germany and the vertical velocities produced by the operational analysis of the European Centre for ...

Abstract: A novel extension of the spaced antenna method for VHF/UHF radar and wind profiler applications is introduced in this paper. It is proposed that instead of pointing the spaced antenna beams vertically, off-vertical oblique ...
